The tiny error that didn’t matter
I made a typo* this week. In public. While commenting on a post about grammar mistakes.
The post was about someone who cancelled their newsletter over one tiny error. I replied. And somewhere in that sentence, I wrote “glassses.”
Three s’s. I missed it. (I’m waiting for new glasses, which feels like a fair excuse.)

Mistakes don’t erase your message. They just prove there’s a person behind it.
Your English doesn’t need to be perfect to work. It needs to be used.
Quick win: After your next slip, ask one question. Did they understand you? Almost always, yes.
