Re: Typos of the week!
How many in this group have had this experience?
You're walking at normal speed past someone's desk,
maybe even carrying on a conversation with somebody
else. A document is lying face-up, and
instantaneously, almost unconsciously, you look it
over and say "Typo!" before you can stop yourself.
Yep. I do that, and you're right about the annoyance it can sometimes cause. I excuse myself by saying that everyone has a superpower (generally useless) and that one is mine.
