It isn't my eyes, it's my brain. Even though I'm easily distracted by errors in the written word (spoken, too), and am often ASKED to proofread things for other people, I have days when I can go over and over something I've written and STILL miss something that should have been obvious when I typed it!
For instance, I can type "abilitly", re-read it three times and all three times see it the way it should be, "ability". I make plenty of mistakes, so what? But what really bugs me is when I go back and check, and still don't see it. Grrrrr.

This happens to me all the time now, more so with my advancing age. I use Firefox browser, which has a built in spell check. But it does not fix grammar, and it does not always flag medical words. I type fast, and often miss small words now. You will see me editing my posts quite a bit, sometimes, I see the errors days later! duh? At least as a mod, I can go back and fix things when others can't, here. LOL When people quote me though it embarrasses me to see a glaring error.
