Heh, sorry... not a mistake "I" regret. Although the typo version was more interesting.
Speaking of mistakes, I've noticed my posts are littered with them since I came back. I want to assure people I'm not an imposter. It would be terrible if I was so nah, it's not that. It's a degenerative brain disease.
Everyone makes typos, it's normal. I make hoards of them, but so far I've managed to escape the Grammar Nazis' wrath.
You know, sometimes I think your typos are just part of the odd way that you express yourself at times, like they are a part of your accent. Your last email had lots of errors, it was an exception, but you were tired so it wasn't a surprise.
I think it's sobriety that's doing it, not tiredness. I double-typing words or using words that start with the same letter of the alphabet but don't mean the same thing at all. I'm used to my mind racing ahead and I was used to working with that. Now it feels like being on a bicycle going downhill and the brakes and gears aren't what I'm used to.
My father used to tell me a story about a friend that he used to hang out with when he was a kid. The friend got a new bike with rear and front breaks. He was speeding, full tilt, down a hill in North Vancouver when hit the breaks. He used the wrong breaks that time. He was going so fast that when he applied the front breaks the tire stopped, but him and the bike kept moving. He did a face-plant over the front of the bike. My dad said that his friend was picking gravel out of his face for months.
Do you regret going to college/university or the opposite ?
