Actually, it isn't that easy. As the writer your brain knows what it is expecting to see, so it is very easy to overlook spelling and grammar mistakes. Worse is that as a writer you have an emotional bond to your text, and killing all those "darlings" require a cold blooded attitude that not everyone is capable of presenting.
