Sometimes I read my own posts. I should do that before I publish them since they are often full of errors. I wonder if those who read them are able to figure out what was intended, and how much the defects in writing detract from the concepts?

When I read the posts of others my mind's eye does the correction automatically on the fly, as it does for most visual inputs. I see what I expect to see, what makes sense. From the limited visual stimuli gathered by senses my mind constructs a whole image.

Most of the time this is a feature rather than a bug. But it makes it harder to see new things and think new thoughts that are subtly different from past inputs. It is good to take periodic skeptical holidays and question every input, argue against myself and doubt my senses.
