Took a hiatus from lemmy to hang around Bluesky. When I left here I was typing errors into every post. Some were typical, like not making a noun plural, some were scary, like using the completely wrong word. Think: “bat” when I meant “car”. Some were worse but I can’t remember any.
Having mental problems over the past couple of years and noticing this scared the crap out of me, especially as it seemed to get progressively worse. When I went to BS (heh), the problems all but disappeared. Came back here, problems followed.
Is my brain perhaps struggling with the font? Another interesting note: old.lemmy.world is far worse for me than the newer version. Can I permanently change the font for an entire site? I’m sure it’s doable, but I could use best-practice advice.
(Not seeing errors on this post, but if there are any I’m leaving them.)
Someone else mentioned a browser add-on that lets you modify fonts on a per-site basis, but there are other add-ons in the same niche that don’t require stylesheet knowledge if that puts you off at all.
As for errors, I’ll sometimes not completely revise a sentence if I decide to rewrite for tense or aspect, and end up with words missing or in weird grammatical places. And then I’ll not see it after three or four checks. Including when coming back to check whether people liked my comment or not.
And then bam, fifth visit, I can’t parse what I’ve written because cabbage there’s a wrong word in the middle of a sentence or I’ve one out entirely. (I did that for effect, but I can’t vouch for the previous two paragraphs. Yet.)
