         I have terminal typo-itis.

            I go through stages of that. What slays me is when I have gone over an article about six or seven times and then discover later, with a flush of almost painful embarrassment, that a typo has slipped past me! It is always, “Edit! Now!” LOL

            It seems endless. Literally, no matter how many times I go over a piece, there’s always something I missed. it’s like a mental hole.

            I know what you mean. I’ve found that it happens more now that I can’t read my stuff out loud. I could, but I think the staff at Burger King would get annoyed and I’d lose my privileged customer status! LOL Having said that, the reading out loud thing still allows the occasional boo-boo through! Oh well!

            Garry read my entire book out loud and he STILL missed typos.

            Yeah, I’ve found that only works after the reading it backwards bit and then still allows a few zingers to get through! Editing it, and always will be, the bane of the writer’s existence! LOL

            Some people are good at it. I’m not.

            I’m pretty good at doing other folks’ stuff and close to abysmal editing my own. That old, “I expect to see it the right way, so I do,” thing…

            I suspect that is typical. I’m much better on someone else’s stuff because I really SEE it. My own stuff, I see what I meant to say, not necessarily what’s really written.

            Yup! My issue exactly, because I know what I wrote in my mind, my eyes see that when reading it.

   I think you. Evil Squirrel thanks you. And Garry would thank you, but he’s watching NCIS and I can’t interrupt him. It’s a religious thing.
