Isn't it weird the way we can totally miss something even though we're staring at it? I do that a lot too.
I remember one math exam I was doing & when I checked it over, couldn't find any mistakes I might've made. But when the exam came back, in a long equation, I'd written (as part of the equation) 13x - 7x = 12x. How the heck couldn't I see that?
Or I might misread a word & a sentence won't make sense. So I go back to check & no matter how often I reread it, I'll continue misreading that same word.
My brain seems to be stuck on that certain neural pathway & I need a break of an hour or so (sometimes a day) before I can reread or recheck it with a fresh perspective & see my error.
