Are you more likely to find errors when proofreading on screen than on a printed copy?

Yes, many people find it easier to spot errors on a printed copy than on screen. This is partly because reading from paper can reduce distractions and allows for a different cognitive engagement with the text. The physicality of a printed document can enhance focus and make errors more noticeable, while screens can lead to quicker reading and overlooking mistakes. However, this can vary by individual preference and the nature of the content being proofread.
