I blame auto-fill or auto-correct or auto-I’m going to ruin your day for a lot of this. I’m convinced that it lies in wait and makes its sneaky changes one or two seconds before I hit send. I agree that our brains see what we want them to see. In which case proofreading is pointless. Unfortunately, that view is heresy to me so I’ll continue proofreading at least 5 times anyway. I can imagine a future where the auto-fill et al prints a disclaimer saying that all errors are the fault of the human author. LOL

There has to be a reason why authors employ proof readers 😀

“Auto-correct: Lies dormant while typing. Watches. Waits. The moment I send, it changes “meeting” to “mating.” Not before.”

Love this!

Soooo true. Every word. We're not even using AI--it's just email and it's destroying the human race.

Thank you for the good read, Brad.
