Proofreading Symbols

Hello, dear English learners. The following is a brief explanation of the proofreading symbols I use in most of my classes:

Morphosyntax and Semantic Mistakes

WW = wrong word(s)

WO = wrong order of words

WT = wrong tense of verb

WF = wrong form or inflection of word

X = missing word(s) or information

llllll = unnecessary word(s)

?? = unintelligible, ilogical

OFF = off-task, off-topic


Mechanics Mistakes

sp = spelling

p = punctuation

CAP = must be capitalized

cap = must not be capitalized
