What do you call a person who proofreads?

There isn't one single, universally accepted term for someone who proofreads. Here are some options:

Common terms:

* Proofreader: This is the most straightforward and commonly used term.

* Copyeditor: This term is more broad, encompassing proofreading and other aspects of editing, like style and grammar.

* Editor: This term is even broader, encompassing copyediting, developmental editing, and other types of editing.

Less common, but still valid:

* Corrector: This term focuses specifically on correcting errors.

* Quality control: This term is more commonly used in a manufacturing context, but can also apply to proofreading.

* Language specialist: This term emphasizes the expertise in language needed for proofreading.

The best term to use will depend on the specific context and the tasks involved.
