proofreading theri posts befroe sending them...  I'm in the habit of 
proofreading on account of the work I do for a living, and I've got 
the lousy vision to prove it, but I'd get in trouble if my work was 
full of boo-boos.  And yet on occasion mistakes can still get past my 
bespectacled eagle eyes.  It tends to bother me more when the wrong 
words are used.  Case in point, was that a typo or do missiles really 
know how to lobby? They should lobby for themselves instead of 
getting people to do their dirty work for them...  ;-)

Geoff:
You always notice the typing error approximately 0.98 seconds after 
you press the send key!

Part of the problem is that your mind sees what it expects to see... 
On many occasions as a teacher I would produce a poster or a 
blackboard summary and then have it pointed out to me that there was 
a glaring spelling error.

One thing that I do find irritating and which I think may be laziness 
rather than faulty typing is a member spelling a proper name 
incorrectly having not bothered to check it out first, for example 
wrongly spelling Hagrid or Priori Incantatem or Little Whinging.

Crossing my fingers that I haven't spelt anything wrong here :-)
