    You’re certainly allowed to feel your feelings, though they don’t change the simple fact that “filtering” by not filtering is literally impossible.

    Also, the aforementioned difference is “lose” vs. “loose”, fellow anon. Try not to knot your knickers this time. 😅🙃

      You are not understanding my sentence. I said that my brain was filtering the grammar errors for me.

      Your statement is correct but the brain IS filtering stuff for you, all the time. Every sensory signal is filtered through your subconscious mind before it reaches your conscious mind.

      Saying that the brain filters grammar errors is a completely correct statement, I’m really not getting why you are saying that you can’t filter stuff by not filtering them, it’s a correct statement but it just doesn’t apply.

      Your written tone is very condescending for someone that is missing the original point, come on.

      Oh my god, I think I finally got your comment. You meant that the sentence “filtered it through” is incorrect for the intent of filtering something, the world “through” should be eliminated. Yes? Because filtering something through is letting it in little by little, while my intent was to say that the errors weren’t being let in since they were filtered subconsciously. That was what you meant?

      Please do confirm if this was your original intent, I’m very confused. If it was low key damn you for not being more clear but also sorry for misunderstanding and making a mountain out of a molehill (I think I used this idiom correctly).
