Hi there.

I have my viva coming up next week and i am getting really anxious about the amount of errors i have found in my thesis. Basically, due to a number of circumstances (relationship break-up, and the sudden retirement of my supervisor with 6 months to go) i found myself running out of time. I was still writing right up to the very last day. As such i tried to proof read my thesis whilst totally exhausted and sleep-deprived and didn't do a very good job.

Now, when reading through the thesis i have found a LOT of small grammatical errors (30+) None of these make any of the sentences confusing, but i am still worried. Having read around on this site i have seen a lot of posts about typos and people reassuring that these wont matter a great deal. However, i am worried that, as my thesis is in the humanities, these small mistakes will have a much greater impact than in a scientific thesis.

Does anyone have any idea what impact this will have on the viva generally - i know that these things differ from examiner to examiner, but i'd be grateful to hear about anyone's experiences.

Thanks
