Too Many Typos

"Six essential qualities that are the key to success: Sincerity, personal integrity, humility, courtesy, wisdom, charity."

William Menninger

I kind of owe you an apology.

You're gracious enough to take a couple of minutes to read the stuff I write.

The least that you deserve is that I make sure that what I write reads properly.

Yesterday, while sitting and waiting to board our flight to Chicago, my email for the day popped up into my inbox.

I clicked on it and did something I rarely do.

I read what I had written!

Read,read read, TYPO!

Ugh!

Read,read read some more.

TYPO!

Arrgh!

Read, read, read....

Another TYPO!

I have to tell you, I was disappointed in myself.

The typos were not the kind that would be picked up by spell check or grammar check.

They were all real words, just not the ones I wanted....look instead of looked,watch instead of watching,a missing t in the word to, not to mention missing punctuation marks like a well placed and much needed comma.

Inexcusable!

So here's my commitment to you for your commitment to me.

I will try and do better.

I will do my best to take the time to reread what I have written before I hit the send button.

Since my writing is pretty much of the stream of consciousness vane, I promise not to change what I write, just edit it for typos.

There, I'm glad I was able to address this.

Now it's time to go back and check what I have written!
