Oh! Those nasty grammar bloopers
Posted by: Roy in Reflections, blog, outlet, thought & opinions, tags: blooper, consciousness, English, grammarNo matter how hard I try, I can’t help but commit them. Even if i reviewed my post a hundred times, something always passes me. A misplaced article or a preposition - a ‘to’ where a ‘from’ should be, an ‘on’ where an ‘in’ is more fitting.
Sometimes, I go back to my previous posts and just laugh at myself. What’s a ‘d’ doing in my sentence when I was not referring to a past event… oh, bloopers, blooper, blooper… bloopers everywhere. No wonder, proofreaders are so valuable.
I am conscious of my grammar, spelling and everything. Yet, I still can’t understand why I wrote ‘live’ and I was meaning to write ‘leave’?… oops! there’s that quotation-punctuation combination again. Will I ever get them right?
Well I do hope, whatever blunder I do commit would be forgivable. I will try to review every work, perhaps go back to my posts way back when. I’m sure I still can find some in them. In the meantime, grammar blunders or not. I hope I still get my messages across.

A few months back I turned in a finished article to a client that I wrote for. Apparently I did not check it because for some reason the word individual ended up as infidels…wow! Not sure how it happened but WOW! Now I proofread everything like 10 times.
talk about bloopers! and a costly one at that!
proofreading is really a must
