Allow me to relate a personal observation, Bob.
Over the years, I have made hundreds of knitted, crocheted and sewn items, and in each one, there has been at least one mistake, deliberate at times, not so at other times. I chose to allow them to remain in the article, rather than correct them in honor of my Native American heritage.
In almost every tribe, the belief is that if a thing is perfect, the evil spirits will like it and inhabit it, thus bringing bad luck and injury to the owner. By putting in a flaw, the evil spirits will stay away, and the owner can keep it with the knowledge that it is “safe.”
And so, when you write, and you know there is a mistake of some kind that others may not notice, it’s OK to leave it in...Avoid perfection and be secure in the knowledge that your efforts will be appreciated.
Just sayin’.
I attribute ownership and authorship of all of my flaws to no one but myself. I am a self-made collage of erroneous intentions and failed executions.
But I have to fix the punctuation, or I’ll go crazy!!!
