It,s called 'stream of consciousness'. The only reason people get hung up about spelling mistakes and typos today is the same reason some snobs got hung up about a person's accent. Nether matter, the communication, the thought is far more important, to write anything at all is rare so those of us who do should be encouraged.

True.  The only problem is that they bug me!!  Can't complain; I have an edit button. 

I don't cope well with being rushed generally, now that I think about it!

William James to the fore...

... as it was he that 'coined' the phrase Stream of (etc.) and it is often misapplied to speaking whilst jumping around from subject to subject which is called other stuff mixed! As is used here it is to a writing style, not that it excuses bad grammar or syntax thoughwink. Politeness and good manners do cover a lot of 'so-called' human faults that we then feel guilty about, I guesscool.  con shias nes.

Or even "in-sewer-ants" as T.Pratchett wrote somewhere.

Pete, you truly are a Pratchett fan huh.  That's good.  Me too.  William James.  I believe that's the first time he's had a mention on this blog.  James seems to be an excellent name for brilliance.  First name or surname.  Seems not to matter.
