To: Yesterday I was typing a paper for college, while I was proofreading it I accidentally edited a grammar mistake IN,
Me: I thought typewriters were a thing of the past, now that computers do all of that and come with a built in spell check, so why are you not using a computer to do all of your assignments on, after all, presumably, you use one to post messages here – as I do.
I am constantly surprised at how many spelling mistakes I make and how fortunate that the Word Processor I use helps me out in so many different ways, that it is infallible, where I am not and neither are you, it seems.
That you made a mistake should not have any impact on your final typed assignment, because the reason for assignments is to see if you have learned the skill you have been taught and can apply it, in such a way that you understand the complexities of the skill you have learned, by completing that assignment and that has nothing to do with spelling errors.
Don’t beat yourself up on things you cannot change, there really is no point and it changes nothing, so why bother?
