I'll happily look at someone else's work but my own, I'm just lazy.

It was a nightmare when I was at university because I had to re-read my essays.

The problem with proofreading your own stuff is you know what you wrote...or at least what you wanted to write. So when you read it to check, you tend to read what you think you wrote rather than what actually came out.

I usually preview a comment and then double check it when it appears. Sometimes I discover a mistake several reads later when I read a reply.

Every time I see an airline plane I wish I still worked at an airport, I get a bit nostalgic.

Sorry to say but getting a driving license in Ontario is really no great achievement. The level of drivers getting licenses is extremely low.
