Ah, you're talking about typos. I type at a 100 wpm, and, sometimes, my fingers take on a life of their own. As it is my intellect people read me for, I am, for the most part, forgiven. I've occasionally apologized to my readers who tell me that they don't care about the typos because that's not why they read me.

However, your errors of not typos. Let me quote something you wrote.

" I know some of you will say that the truth of which I speak and write is not always ‘found’ by perception, and I would agree . . .Except"

WTF?

When you put a word into quotation marks, you're indicating that the word means the opposite. So are you saying it is not found?

You also use an ellipsis and then start a word with a capital letter directly thereafter.

The sentence should have read:

"I know that some of you will say that the truth of which I speak and write is not always found by perception, and I would agree, except that I (finish the sentence so that your reader knows what you're on about)

After an ellipsis, there is a space, and one does not put one word directly thereafter that starts with a capital letter.

Lastly, I don't need your advice on how to write.
