Errors (BG)
After reading for this weeks blog and reading Williams take on errors, i found myself thinking about how my friends correct me sometimes and how frustrating it might be. the first thing that pops into my head was the little errors people make because they don't know the correct form to use, such as to,too and two and how i don't have the best speech. I am in the habit, like a lot of other people, in saying things like "me and my friends.." when its actually suppose to me " my friends and I...". We just say what sounds right to us, and don't think about the grammar aspect of it. everyone makes errors, i mean its part of being human, and no ones perfect. even professionals make errors. towards the end of the reading, i came to a thought that i didn't really find any errors at all in this piece. i am not a professional writing and i don't notice a lot of things that others might consider to be an error. now if you told me the assignment was to pick out the errors in this piece then i probably would have read the piece ten times over again looking for errors. then you have some errors that are intentional and those that are not. when writing most of us write like we talk, so there could be a few errors that slip on by without anyone noticing, then the ones that are on purpose stick out like a sore thumb. they want to be noticed, they want you to know they are there. overall in my opinion, this reading was ok and interesting, but probably not one of my favorites so far.
