A flaw that, I hope at least, people may not notice from day to day but one that torments me constantly is that I am far to critical of everyone around me especially with language and planning. I love language that sounds good and so I pay a lot of attention how different words together and what they really mean. When I then hear a classmate or teacher or parent say or write something that does not sound perfect, prepositions like "on" or "like" are the worst, I cringe and make a mental note that that person made a mistake. This would be okay if I did not hold these mistakes against people for the rest of there lives. I might hold proper planning and processes in even higher regard. Because I have payed so much attention to what my parents and grandparents have done in planning just about anything plannable I find myself thinking in terms of a process with a desired result. So when I see or hear about planning that has any sort of unaccounted pitfalls it takes all my self restraint to not point out every single mistake. These are two things that I find myself using these two things to judge an entire person and it can take me a long time to get past them.
