Kali:
I didn't mean to make it sound all complex. :)  It doesn't have to be.  Unless you know your manuscript is riddled with grammatical errors and such, you probably don't need a reader for that.  Copy editors need job security! Though I understand they'll find stuff wrong even if they have to invent it...

And you can ask people who're reading it to keep an eye out for inconsistencies.  Like I said, though, stuff has less chance of creeping through if you're specific about what you want people to read for.  And you'll generally get more useful feedback, too.

Gritti:
Thanks Kris_W for the wisdom, and thanks Kali for the follow up.
