I should not make my departure without revisiting a method I mentioned in the first post. When I try to check what I've written by sounding out the syllables, if I speak more or less in monotone I tend to lull myself into inattention. If I use silly-sounding inflections and tones of voice, however, I'm more likely to notice my errors. The method might best be tried alone, as laughter can be quite distracting.

Two days ago another low-tech method occurred to me; i.e., in suspect passages, counting the letters of each syllable and monosyllabic word as I silently read it. Like any method I use, it's slow.

Thanks again
