(2 responses) Only for accuracy on technical subjects.
Only if requested, and time allows
Only if I'm not sure and need to verify that I wrote it down correctly.
Only on highly technical pieces
Read them back over the phone once.
In rare cases, I review quotes, but never agree to change them unless the subject convinces me I've got it wrong.
