I did intend to say that I filtered the grammatical errors through, meaning that my brain was reading the pure meaning. You said that I allowed the errors through unfiltered, which is incorrect in my interpretation of the sentence since that would imply I would not be able to parse the meaning correctly, having to deal with grammar mistakes.
Think about it, if you try to eat a porridge with chunks, you need to do extra effort processing the chunks through, hey spend time with them. But if you filter the chunks through, you can process the porridge faster. So no, your correction is incorrect actually, I meant what I said.
It's not that deep though, which is why I said that it really doesn't matter how you want to describe it.
PD: Also, the way you formed that sentence is annoying. Why don't you explain the difference yourself instead of expecting others to do all the legwork in a conversation? You ask if I recognise THE difference, but there are many differences between those sentences in a given context, it depends on how you interpret it. It's low key rude.
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).
This is far too long to spend on a cheeky comment made in passing, friend. Maybe take a walk, or at least a breath? 😅🤪
