I've begun to come up with some pretty funny phrases when reading too fast. In fact, I think I should start keeping track of them! Just now, while glancing at the information on a Christmas song being played on TV Music Choice, I thought the title was: "River Rose and Magic Laundry." (kind of strange for a Christmas song, huh?!) So, I looked back at it and this is what it really said:
"River Rose and Magical Lullaby."
I'm so glad I wasn't with anyone at the time, or I might have asked them if they'd ever heard of that river laundry Christmas song! 😁
(Another good reason as a writer to edit my work, myself,
and not just count on document check, etc.)
What about you?
Do you glance at words too quickly and "see" the wrong words?
Happens to me often. My eyes have a hard time focusing sometimes and when I read something, I'm like, that doesn't make sense. Then I blink, refocus and the actual words become clear. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry this happens to you, too, Tammy...but also glad I'm not the only one! :)
DeleteDecidedly yes. Sadly the person whose work I am least able to edit is my own - I see what 'should' be there, rather than what is.
ReplyDeleteMe, too, Sue! Many times when I go back to read something I've typed, some of the words I thought were there, aren't!
DeleteI am glad I'm not alone. I always do this. LOL
ReplyDeleteLinda, thank you! All of you are making me feel so much better! :)
DeleteColor me relieved to know I'm not the only one. Unfortunately, I can't recall my latest gaffe, but it cracked me up. (I was the only one, but still.)
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, Becky!
Oh Myra, you cracked me up just reading this! :)
DeleteAll the time, Becky P. I'm sort of famous for singing the wrong words to Christmas songs and I'm okay with that.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, there ARE a lot of angel chimes here, aren't there? But I like festive so yay!
Hi Cathy C! Oh, I've sung the wrong words to many songs for years! Glad you like the festive-ness of my angel chimes! ;)
