What do I always tell you?
Mistakes don’t matter.
Except when you’re writing.
Then you should edit and try not to make mistakes.
But sometimes you STILL make mistakes!
Then what?
Panic?
Flee to another country?
Buy a wig and change your name?
Here’s what I do:
Don’t say you made a mistake.
Say you made a “typo.”
“Typo” is short for “typographical error.”
Imagine: You’re typing so fast… a finger slips and – Oops! A typo!
Much better.
Ow! All my academic writing problems are solved! 🙂 Now I know that this is a “typo”, not me 🙂
🙂 I corrected for fun 🤍. Sometimes we read the correct version in our mind, and we don’t notice the mistakes, it’s normal, especially when we’re in a hurry.
Right. Even if you do edit / re-read, it’s hard to see your own
mistakestypos.My motto from my youth: I don’t lie, I just find myself when I have to…
It’s an awesome tip!👍Thanks!
Oh what a relief! Now you can probably find this note after every one of my comments… Or, well…I´ll try to be more careful.
“Woops. That was a typo.” I like it. 🙂
Oh my God what col …
I make typos in my native language too, writing something in hurry and not checking it .. unfortunately
You right, Joanna, when I was preparing to publish the catalog of the exhibition and was creating a text for it, the editor scolded me like a schoolgirl, finding mistakes in every sentence. And I’m already learning a third foreign language, but my native language has obviously suffered
It’s”typo” or not, I make mistakes, but the curious thing is that a few minutes after I post I.realize that is wrong , sorry but…
On the other hand I know always you propose your self do not make mistakes, the result is opposite.My concept of learning includes the mistake because at a certain moment when you evolve, the mistake will naturally desappear.
i never make mistakes. Oops! A Typo! 😀
You is lucky, Timi
Hi Ryan !
Typo occurs when you don’t know the word correctly ,although you probably know pronunciation.
Thanks
Please make zoom not at Saturday and Friday evening if its possible
👍
Ok, I will call to my mistakes “typo”
Typo! Everyone will trust you if you say it’s a type.
But, I have so many typos regardless of all my editing and checking. Nobody will trust me. May be a very good friend.
one is to write, the other is to speak, because it is harder to notice your mistakes when you speak. But on the other hand, you will never speak if you are afraid of making mistakes
