TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Marks for faulty parallelism, lack of agreement, comma splices, etc, are
known as correction symbols. Whereas proofreader's marks are for marking
galley proofs and how text is printed, correction symbols are used to mark
grammatical errors. There is some crossover between the two sets of symbols.
For instance, adding/removing punctuation, closing up spaces, and creating
new paragraphs.
A quick Google search for "correction symbols" unearths a variety of pages
to look at. From what I've seen, content varies slightly between pages and
none are truly comprehensive.
