After the millions of words I have written, I still hit the wrong keys sometimes, especially when using an iPad (which I often do early in the morning and when moderating late in the day). And I am not good at seeing them. Like most of us, I see what I think I typed, not what I actually typed.<\/p>\n<p>There is a trade-off here. I could reduce output and check more. I could also delay publication until someone else has read each post. But the sense of urgency that drives the blog would disappear as a result.<\/p>\n<p>So, a quick poll:<\/p>\n<div id=\"polls-65\" class=\"wp-polls\">\n\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Are the typos worth ignoring to get the posts out as soon as possible?<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"polls-65-ans\" class=\"wp-polls-ans\"><ul class=\"wp-polls-ul\">\n\t\t<li>Yes <small>(54%, 299 Votes)<\/small><div class=\"pollbar\" style=\"width: 54%;\" title=\"Yes (54% | 299 Votes)\"><\/div><\/li>\n\t\t<li>I don't care: just keep writing <small>(33%, 184 Votes)<\/small><div class=\"pollbar\" style=\"width: 33%;\" title=\"I don&#039;t care: just keep writing (33% | 184 Votes)\"><\/div><\/li>\n\t\t<li>Maybe, but I wish you'd check a bit more <small>(10%, 54 Votes)<\/small><div class=\"pollbar\" style=\"width: 10%;\" title=\"Maybe, but I wish you&#039;d check a bit more (10% | 54 Votes)\"><\/div><\/li>\n\t\t<li>No <small>(2%, 13 Votes)<\/small><div class=\"pollbar\" style=\"width: 2%;\" title=\"No (2% | 13 Votes)\"><\/div><\/li>\n\t\t<li>I don't know, but show me the results anyway <small>(1%, 6 Votes)<\/small><div class=\"pollbar\" style=\"width: 1%;\" title=\"I don&#039;t know, but show me the results anyway (1% | 6 Votes)\"><\/div><\/li>\n\t\t<\/ul><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Total Voters: <strong>556<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" id=\"poll_65_nonce\" name=\"wp-polls-nonce\" value=\"80535de921\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"polls-65-loading\" class=\"wp-polls-loading\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.taxresearch.org.uk\/Blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-polls\/images\/loading.gif\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading ...\" title=\"Loading ...\" class=\"wp-polls-image\" \/>&nbsp;Loading ...<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There has been a running commentary on this blog over many years that draws attention to my typos.
