Sequential word repetitions in the VMS
#64
As JKP says, when I looked back at the VMS for the next word, my eyes kept finding the word I'd just copied instead. I didn't make any mistakes on the very first page I copied, when I was so concerned with getting the glyphs the right shape that I was paying very close attention. As I got more familiar with the glyphs - which happened surprisingly quickly - I made many more repetition errors. 

I do remember thinking that if I were a paid scribe using expensive parchment, I would've been trying harder not to make errors. 

Repetitions were my most frequent mistake, but there were also a few times when I skipped a line. So I wrote half of line 2, then finished it with the last half of line 3.
