Why don't people proof read?

People often skip proofreading due to time constraints, a lack of awareness about its importance, or overconfidence in their writing abilities. Additionally, familiarity with the text can lead to overlooking errors, as the brain tends to fill in gaps automatically. Distractions and multitasking can also hinder the proofreading process, making it easy to miss mistakes. Ultimately, it’s a combination of practical limitations and cognitive biases that leads to insufficient proofreading.
