Anybody who proofreads your work is doing you an enormous favor. Proofreaders catch errors to which the author is blind. I encourage my proofreaders to mark anything that strikes them as incorrect. I then go through their assessments and apply such as I think are appropriate. Experience has taught me not to try to explain why I disagree with a particular assessment. That just invites argument, which is not an appropriate way of thanking proofreaders for their invaluable help. Even explaining why I agree with a particular assessment can sometimes invite argument. I find it best just to thank proofreaders profusely and, if they are hired, to pay them promptly.
