Is it “Looks like you’re lucky” or “Looks like you got lucky”? And how did this get past proofreading?
We’re missing the word “okay” in there. I would have read this a million times and not noticed.
There’s an old perception/proofreading test that involves repeating words on either side of a line break. Some 80% of people who read the text miss the repeated (or in this case missing) word.
I find having my mac read back to me helps a lot be we can’t do that with graphics.
He a word.
My mind skipped the “you’re” and read it as “Looks like you got lucky.”
The danger of always being too close to deadline.
That and look before you leap Maria.
