WilliamsErrors

I am currently writing this blog as I read because I feel like it will be easier to express my feelings toward this reading. I am on the bottom of page 154. Williams is saying that when reading or grading someone's paper with a critical eye for grammar, there will be more error found than if it were read based on content. For example, if I am watching a movie and told that there are errors in the script, chances are, I won't even enjoy the movie because I will be critiquing everything I watch and finding problems with scenes that I would have normally enjoyed.
Now, I am at the bottom of 158 where Williams is ending his rant on the standards of grammar. He had done his research and proved that the student is not the only person making the so called "errors." Authors such as E. B. White, Orwell, and many others have made errors that have been overlooked simply because they are the wise writers of their times. Critics don't look at their writing as closely. What Williams is trying to say is that when reading their work, people don't see the writing as something that can be corrected simply because they are the standards from which we work from. Not only is he saying that they messed up, but he also blames them for the students error because that is where their knowledge on the subject originated.
By the end of this article I was very intrigued. I, in fact, had not noticed any grammatical errors at all. This verifies that William had made some valid points. I had not been looking for errors and was not reading with a critical eye, therefore they had simply gone unnoticed. If i were to go through the article again, I bet would find wrong uses of grammar, simply because I was told that there were wrong uses of grammar.
