Ways to get me to proofread a paper even when I don't have time to do so: misspell my name and "proofread" in the request.>dear jeremey:

(As it happened, the paper itself was almost entirely typo-free.)

I think the appropriate response is, "No, but I did have time to proofread your email message!"
So you read the paper? And who sends you this type of email, with such short notice no less?
Two misspellings today:
* I was looking through an issue of Sociological Perspectives, and the table of contents listed "Riviewers"
* Found out that the announcement for a new president for UConn has two typos/ grammatical errors in the first sentence.
Though, those of us who live in glass houses...
