It seems to be pretty much the consensus that proofing your own work is difficult. I didn't believe that I was alone in that boat, and I don't mind if people toss me a line that I need to correct, I'll gladly accept it and make the corrections.
I am glad that they have an "edit" button for sure, mine gets a pretty regular workout.

Yeah I'm glad for that "edit" button too! If I see any "howlers" on your posts I will gently point them out, but so far I've never noticed any. I will ignore minor errors, as this is part of my therapy to try and disengage from my former copy-editing grammar mania!
I have a good friend who has a habit of mispronouncing words, often quite hilariously, but if anyone corrects her, she gets really upset. She's very intelligent, and it could be a kind of dyslexia. So I just bite my tongue when she calls Lake Garda "Lake Giardia" or a friend's dog called Diego, "Dago".
