I did notice it when I was looking at the responses. I did change it.
I really want to know if there is a mistake in my work. I will also mention this to others if it has not been mentioned in the posts when I read them.
We should be able to help each other openly with gratefulness.

I remember a previous discussion about this. I think the consensus was, that when we post a photo and want to be told if there's a mistake, we should explicitly say, 'Please tell me if you see a mistake.' It also goes the other way; if you don't want a mistake pointed out (and some people do not), take a moment to say, 'Please don't tell me if you see a mistake.' Before that discussion, I had always assumed that anyone and everyone would want a mistake pointed out.
