When read from left to right, the English language




Disregard the above, I just wanted to divert your attention here to the description field. 
You're being tested:
Did you look at the photo before you read this text? Or
Did you read this text before you looked st the photo? Or
Did you look at the photo, read part of the text, looked back at the photo and then read more of the text? Or
Have you stopped reading by now because you realize how silly you are for having read this far? Or
How can you lie and say you did read the last one just because you dont want to admit being silly? Or
There are three intentionally-placed typos that you misted above, can you spot them? Or
Are you wondering what the photo has to do with the post? Or
There is only one typo below and you'll have to keep reading to catch it. Or
You know that the t should be an s and you think you finally got good ol' Randy D making a mistake, right?  Or
The only typo above or below is the word misted, and it was intentional.

  • I read the text first.. partly that's just logistics as the post originally comes through on the board whereas the photo doesn't so, having been intrigued by the few lines that appear on the board - I was agog, wanting to read the rest of the text.  

    The picture seemed of less importance to me... 

    They say, generally speaking, that men are more visual than women - perhaps, if that's true, I just am less visual, being a woman..

  • I read the replies first... and
    I read the description... and
    Ignored the picture because you've said before you get random pictures and then try and fit a question to the picture... and
    I found 1 spelling error, but I have to go grocery shopping soon and don't have time to speel check... and
    I have a spelling error, but I deliberately left it as is without correction just because... and
    I looked at the picture... and
    1 of the coat hangars is backwards, that is driving me crazy, please fix it... and
    So there!

    Blue underlines are on repeated words or word stems. Red refers to errors. Green is for recommended stylistic changes. You're welcome.

  • Interesting, the editor seems to have failed to find a spelling error on line 4.

    "st" was used incorrectly, but it is a word and an abbreviation. Ergo, the checker didn't catch it. Interestingly, I ran this through three different checkers. MS Word is the only one that caught "st," but it missed a bunch of other stuff. MS Word and Grammarly agreed that "ol'" was incorrect as well, but WhiteSmoke didn't see it as an issue.

    I read as I scroll so I read first then looked.  BTW, that white shirt is begging for an iron.

    I briefly glanced at it and reported it as nonsense...thus JA's critique.

    You say 'misted' was an intentional error, so I assume the syntax related spelling errors are not intentional
