I've gotten a lot better over the years searching out typos, but it takes a lot of squinty-eyed concentration to do it! @John: I’ve seen that several times and it’s what makes proofreading difficult for me.

Like Shaun said, it's funny how the mind has its ways of interpreting data. Our subconscious mind is always at work helping us interpret the world and assists in shaping our emotional responses. The problem I find is since our subconscious has been trained by schooling, mentors, books, parents, etc. it tends to be restrained by rules and constraints of logic. That's all find and great except sometimes being confined in the realm of logic can hurt creativity. Have you guys seen this one? Can you read the following with no problem at all . . . Soemtiems I wsih I lived in Haawii beacuse it's so beatuiful there. But I lvie in Las Veags becasue it is where I grew up and my faimly lievs here. Hvae you noticed you can read this? All I need to do is keep the fisrt and lsat lettres where they're supopse to be. You can probably read this because your subconscious sees the essence of what you're reading and interprets it for you. That subconscious, it's tricky!
