       I kept trying to delete an asterisk that wouldn't go away until I realized it was a piece of dust on my monitor.Just one of the many dangers of work before coffee.#LivingDangerously

       @grammargirl I usually go the other way - trying to wipe dust off my monitor that turns out to be errant punctuation. like an extra apostrophe.

       @grammargirl Reminds me of when I was editing a photo and was trying to remove what I thought was a blemish on my subject's face.As with your situation, it was just dust on the screen.

       @grammargirl Time to clean the screen?  This happens to me all the time with phantom periods and commas.

       @grammargirl they usually appear as commas on my screens.

       @grammargirl 🤣 that has happened to me, but not quite as often as the situation where i try to interact with buttons on a screen shot that I just took. 😆

       @grammargirl Ha! Seeing your post made me nearly spew my coffee. Good timing. I think we have all done this. The mote of dust, not the coffee. Okay, the coffee as well. :)
