When I notice the error, I think I'm pretty good at it

When I don't notice the error, I have no reason to think I'm not good at it.

It's impossible to get an objective answer here, because everyone is going to think they are better than they really are.

Did you forget that period on purpose?!? My OCD is holding a gun to my head and won't give until I asked. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Fair question, and it sounds like something I would ask, so I must oblige!

I originally intended to include an extra word somewhere, but I changed my mind and sent it as is. So, kind of? But not really.

Love it. ๐Ÿป

What kind of trick would it be?

Like maybe there is a word missing in the title of the submission

I like to believe I'm pretty good. First, never assume bad intentions automatically. I go through a range of typos it could have been and respond like it was a typo. And then wait for another response to confirm if it was intentional or not.

Note - English is not my native language so that might have something to do with my higher level of tolerance.

Good as long as it's less than three words off the mark.
