I've been trying for some time to iron out the glitches that come from the Dragon NaturallySpeaking software. In the same post consider this sentence:

"In this case apparently, the principal and vice principal alleged that Hispanic students celebrating Cinco de Mayo might take offense at the American colors worn by Anglos and be attempted toward violence."

Obviously I dictated "tempted" but the software printed "attempted." As a matter of fact, it did exactly the same thing in the preceding sentence just now.

I do not understand why I'm so bad at proofreading, it must be that psychologically one sees what he thinks ought to be there.

Now, if I can think up an excuse for this prolix virus...
