is when a writer posts her fic, and I go to read it, and I see SPaG errors I should have caught the first time.

I've read some things three or four times, and I still find stuff. Can't help but feel cross-eyed after a while. Sometimes it just needs a fresh pair of eyes is all.

Don't beat yourself up...you're amazing in your own right.

*hugs*

Aw, it happens to everyone, lovely. There are people who have the kinds of brains that never, ever miss a typo and then there's the rest of us.

Even the best beta readers are still human. Much as I know many of us wish we could be perfect. Sometimes typos just slip through, no matter how carefully the text is combed through. :) So no beating yourself up about it!

Oh, and perhaps if the author is one that wouldn't mind, you could shoot them a message pointing out the errors that were missed, so they can be corrected. I know I'd do it if it were me!

Was it me???? If so, send me an email. I'm notorious for that sometimes.
