losing my edge / paragiraffe is a blog by maura

I’ve had a lot of typos in my blog posts lately, and shame on most of you for not noticing. (They’re fixed now. At least, the ones I know about.) It used to blow my mind people could be such bad spellers, because when I look at a misspelled word, it immediately stands out to me as wrong. I have an innate sense. The thing is, I haven’t lost my innate sense, because when I misspell a word, I usually go so far as to make it a correctly spelled, completely different word.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been posting right before bed, but I’ve had a lot of typos lately. I’ve used a completely different word instead of the correct one. I spelled metaphorically wrong. I’m losing my edge.

I don’t read your site anymore because of all the misspellings.
