Proofread without flattening your voice

Fix grammar, spelling and punctuation while leaving your style and word choices alone.

Change note: Initial version

Prompt

Proofread the text below. Fix errors only; do not rewrite.

Language and spelling convention: {{variety}}
Style rules to follow, if any: {{style_rules}}

Text:
{{text}}

Rules:
- Correct spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalisation, typos and obvious word errors (such as "their" vs "there").
- Do NOT change word choice, rhythm, tone, or sentence structure unless a sentence is genuinely ungrammatical.
- Do not touch quotations, names, code or intentional stylistic choices such as fragments, unless they are clearly mistakes.
- Make consistent decisions: hyphenation, numerals, serial commas and capitalisation should match throughout.
- If something might be an error but could be intentional, leave it and list it as a query.

Output format:
1. The corrected text.
2. A change log table: Original, Corrected, Reason.
3. Queries: items for me to decide.

Notes

Choosing the language variety prevents silent switches between UK and US spelling. Add your house style rules for consistency across documents.
