On checking

Here are some notes from Sandy about reviewing checks that you receive.

It is important to review checks carefully, not just look at things you need to change.  Really see the mistakes and understand what the problem was.

If there are any matches you didn't find, go back and look at it and repeat the search the checker did. See if you get the same results and try to understand why the checker's search worked.

Open the manuscript occasionally and look at handwriting that you couldn't read the first time that the checker was able to figure out.  This helps a lot in getting used to difficult writing.

If there is anything you don't agree with, then ask questions. This is an excellent way to make sure everyone is working with the same rules.

We'd like you all to benefit from the checks. If you do anything when reviewing your checks that helps you be a better inputter, please let us know in the comments.
