The Phenomenology of Error

Let me start off by first saying that this article took twice as long to read as I thought it would take.  But now that I'm done and have read the last paragraph, I think I know why I was re reading a few paragraphs.  As far as what Joseph M. Williams was talking about with social constructs... I am not entirely sure.  Maybe he means depending on what the category of writing is, determines what errors will or will not be found, or what rules will be violated or not. For example if an article was written by a student, the general reading audience will generally notice easily, or even search for errors but might miss some writing rules that were violated.  However, if a scholar or professor writes an article, the general reading audience will miss most errors.  In this case, about 100 errors. Now when we think about Wikipedia writers, we think about anyone and everyone.  When reading wiki articles, I feel like most people read them like they were student written, basically searching for errors because the reader themselves are editors as well.  This is a great thing for W because it helps weed out even more errors and broken rules, increasing Wikipedia's accuracy as an encyclopedia.  I feel like eventually with this form of editing and revision by the general audience the accuracy of W could even pass Britannica.
