Proofreading is important because it can help you identify misspelled words such as "proofreadying". It can also help you notice grammar mistakes.
When proofreading, it is often useful to read your work aloud. Sometimes when you hear the words spoken, it makes you realize that what you've written doesn't make sense.
Even more valuable is to have someone else proofread your work because they can often spot things that you'll miss. It should be someone whose opinion you trust and someone who's not afraid to tell you that you messed up. If you don't have anyone like that, you should put your work down for at least a few hours and then return to proofread it.

Incorrect grammar/spelling isn't proper and is looked down upon. Some people, like me, get annoyed by little mistakes, but we're just the English lovers. =)
Oh, and if you spell things wrong in an essay, you will lose points. If you spell something wrong on a college application, it may break you. Spelling and grammar matters!

catching mistakes,misspellings, improper grammar, run on sentences or anything else before someone else does. It is one thing if it is a teacher, what if it is a person you're hoping to work for? What kind of impression would that give? Would you be likely to get the job?

To make sure you didn't misspell, make any mistakes and your words make sense.
And you spelled proofreading wrong
Try proofreading your questions

Did you proofread your question??
Or at least use spell-check?

I think this question was intended as a joke, somehow.
