Hi Liara.
It interesting how the imagination can limit us or give us room to grow. I hadn’t considered stretching consciously and unconsciously.

Davina, as you consciously and unconsciously stetch yourself, you are learning in ways you had not imagined. It is how you step outside a comfort zone you have outgrown but do not necessarily accept. Liara Covert’s last blog post..Move beyond the chains of time

Hi Cath.
It’s amazing isn’t it? Lol, that’s a hilarious typo! I know I wouldn’t feel lucky if I had a roof on my head. Good of Stuart to point that one out to you.

Hi Barbara.
I was more worried about typos when I first started blogging too, but I’m learning to let go of that. I haven’t noticed any typos from you on Twitter — not that I’m watching for them :-) I understand how you must feel about spelling that person’s name wrong. We make mistakes — it happens. I made an embarrassing mistake once when I was commenting on a blog… I used the wrong name entirely when I addressed the blogger.

Hi Davina – When I started blogging, typos were an issue for me. But then I realized many bloggers don’t have English as their first language or like you said, use different spellings for the same word. Now, I over look the typos.

I find I make more typos on Twitter than I do on my blog. Maybe it ‘s because I don’t have a way of proofreading it before I hit enter.

On my second blog, I have a popular post that gets hits because I spelled a person’s name wrong. I contemplated changing it, but the post has lots of important links in it, so I’ve left it as is. I do feel bad, however, for making an error in the spelling of their name.

Hi Davina – I had no idea that so many people made typos when they’re searching Google.

I have to hit the publish button before I spot errors. That can be time consuming as I’ve got to change them one at a time.

I make lots of embarrassing mistakes and the ones I find hardest to spot are things like this one I made a little while ago: “You are lucky if you have a roof on your head.”

Stuart noticed it straight away and pointed out that most people wouldn’t feel so lucky if they had a roof on their head.
