LOL! Sorry, I derped a bit on the grammar there. Yes, I meant that you
can often catch those mistakes with your editor, but not always. There
are some errors that cannot possibly be caught by an editor, of
course; but there are others that theoretically could be, but I almost
never see them. That's the point I was raising - not really an
objection, but a segue into my next comment.
