Transcription
Oh that sign, I still use that sign, which means corrections. I worked in proofreading. Proofreaders had their own shortcuts. Similar to when you’re writing in shorthand. You can read over the symbols and understand it. So proofreading had its own shorthand. Like if something needed to be deleted it was circled and the circle had a little tail at the end. And that meant to remove it. If something was underlined that meant to insert a word there. Makes sense right? Then the sign, C-X, meant corrections, something was wrong and needed correcting.
