The Phenomenology of Error

I just don’t see how making errors in a paper is a phenomenon. People do it all the time that it seems almost regular, like it supposed to happen. I don’t get how some errors can excite him while others don’t. Most people don’t even know that they are making errors because they be to busy trying to get their thoughts down on paper before they forget them.

I think that some of the most common errors that people make when their writing a paper tend to be when they are talking about themselves and someone else. So I completely understand where he is coming from in the beginning of the article where he says that people use “such errors as different than, between you and I and so on.” When people talk like that in a paper it completely irks my nerves. I think that is annoying because people don’t usually talk like that in person.

Some errors bother people more because I feel like they understand language better than others around them. Sometimes I won’t see a mistake being made in a paper that I am reading unless someone points it out to me. I do agree that some errors are less serious than others because again we don’t pay that much attention to how a person is writing and if their spelling is wrong. I just want to read their paper and try to understand what they are talking about. I don’t think that their errors are that important if they are just little things that can be overlooked its really not that serious.
