errors

During a casual conversation or a piece of writing, I focus on the main points however I do tend to get distracted away from the main point in the event of there being an error. Whether it be a typo or grammar problem, it throws me off. I usually correct the person's writing or speech but if I don't, the error is the only thing I can think about for the following 15-20 seconds. Errors are everywhere. Even the best writers create error. I think in those cases, their creative juices are flowing, they know the point they are trying to convey and even after reviewing their work, reading over it again, they still do not catch the error. I do think all the time with my papers. If I reread something as I continue to add to it, I seem to miss something that had gone wrong. This is because what I have set up in my mind for what I wanted to say outshines what is really there. I thought the reading for this week was a bit dry so it was hard to focus on the main point. However, I did find it humorous that some errors "do not offend him" while others drive him crazy. The idea that the way people speak or write could offend someone in the event of an error, makes me think William's should take some time off from reading so much.
