I am not American. I immigrated to America in my early 50s, stayed 11 years, then left. Yes, I get that small pitance wherever I live.

I'm surprised you found that many errors. I tend to use British spelling at times. I do know that I make typos sometimes. Generally someone will point them out and I will fix them.

As many readers support me and as some of them have been following my writing for more than a decade (going trom site to site), despite the typos, there must be something about my writing that keeps them coming back.

I also have a 4.7 star aggregate on goodreads. So, despite the errors, for which I apologize, it couldn't have detracted that much from my writing.

I am curious as to what reputation you are talking about, and why I would worry about my reputation at this late stage of my life. Does it really matter what people think of me?

As someone who is 70 years old, with Asperger's Syndrome, and an Audtiory Processing Disorder, I have about a four hour day before I become mentally exhausted. I simply don't have time to read and rereaad, and I'm also really bad at spotting things.

As I said, I'd appreciate it if you could point out where the errors are. I'll fix them up.

I just ran it through word. Five typos, caused mainly because my left or right hand is faster than the otehr when type and the letters invert. All corrected.
