I try to find mine before the grammar Nazis track me down. /s

It’s so aggravating to read and see what you MEANT to type, only to read it again after posting to find you used the incorrect or misspelled word after you click on the ‘post’ button.

My first full-time job was for an attorney who was the son of an English teacher. He was a stickler for proper grammar and spelling. Thankfully, my English teacher in high school was the same way so I was able to keep up and he found very few errors in my letter drafts. But, it kept me on my toes!

I read my text backwards so I see the individual words, not what I meant to say. Otherwise I tend to see what I wanted to say not what I really wrote. (This doesn’t always work, though)
