Here's another comment on the "Don't take chances" blog entry:

Tom, being an English major guarantees me little. I overlook my own typos and when I reread my work, sometimes I see words that aren't even on the page. My brain thinks they're there because I thought I was writing what I was thinking. But, somehow I manage to skip words! December 12, 2009 4:40 PM

Kimberly, I have the same problem. I leave out words because my mind "puts them in there" or I'll use the wrong word. I sometimes re-read my blogs and have to go back and fix typos. It's always something.

And, as always, comments are welcome.
