As I get older, I'm actually getting better. i did a spellcheck on a piece today, and there was only one error in 15 pages. So maybe I'm just a slow learner. p>As a favor for someone I know I did a check on his senior final project and almost slit my wrists. Pygmies have better command of the English language.
You forgot to close your paragraph bracket.

Seriously, I do understand what you mean.
I think it’s because when *we* read what we’ve written, we see it as we “thought it” and are blind to the actual printed words.
It’s easy to be dispassionate yet critically vigilant about something someone else has written.
[and really, most people just skip over typos unless they’re unintentionally hysterically funny ones]....:)
