<div>As a college professor, I was very curious about the correct use of this word: proofread, proof-read, or proof read. I'm not defending, nor correcting anyone...just interested...an FYI, if you will. So I did some research, and contacted an expert. Someone
whose job is reading, proofing, and editing books, plays, manuscripts, as well as writing their own work, and publishing their work. </div>

<div>Here is the response I received from a Literary Agent at Curtis Brown, LTD, NYC, the third biggest Literary Agency in the country. They know! They are a pro! Just saying...</div>

<div><font size="3">You pose a very interesting question, which actually has a simple answer: they are all correct.</font></div>
<div><font size="3"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font size="3">The word proof read and/or proof reader has followed a standard etymological pattern. It started as two words, then became hyphenated, and now is most often used as a single word. So, while it would be the most up to date to use proofread
and proofreader, you could use any form and technically still be correct. Our language is constantly evolving, so at any given point in time, certain words or word usages that were once incorrect have became correct.</font></div>

decide whether the word proofread is one word or two. (It is one by the way.) Worse yet you used the wrong form of too, meaning also. ("and perhaps Mr. Berko thinks so to") There are also a few punctuation errors. I don't consider myself the grammar police
and I would normally not "call out" a post in a list on spelling and grammar but if you are going to stand as the one to police Mr. Berko about proofreading then you yourself should be above reproach in that manner.
