From what I understand, it's just part of our nature to skip over our own
typos.  I used to be a newspaper proofreader but you know I always skip over
my own typos.  I'm great at catching other's typos but not my own though I
do try hard not to make them myself.

But I think it's safe to assume we all speak Typo here as a second
language.
