Miotosu/Minogasu
Today, I was checking again the corrections that I received on Lang-8.
At that time, I found that I forgot to say "Thank you" for about 20 corrections.
I replied to them, but I feel sorry for not being able to notice them soon.
Like this case, to miss something is said as 'miotosu' (見落とす) or 'minogasu' (見逃す) in Japanese.
'Mi' (見) means "look," 'otosu' (落とす) means "drop," and 'nogasu' (逃す) means "miss."
Both of them have the meaning of "to miss something," but 'miotosu' can also mean to pretend not to see something.

見落とす/見逃す
今日、私は Lang-8 上で受けた添削を見直していました。
すると、約20個ほど、"Thank you" の返事をし忘れている添削がありました。
気が付いたものには返事をしましたが、遅くなってしまったことを申し訳なく思います。
このように、何かに気づかないでいることを日本語で「見落とす」もしくは「見逃す」と言います。
「見」は "look"、「落とす」は "drop"、「逃す」は "miss" を意味します。
「見落とす」と「見逃す」はどちらも同じ意味を持ちますが、「見逃す」は「見て見ぬふりをする」ことを意味することもできます。

I also noticed I missed saying thank you on a correction, but it was from a year ago. I think it would be stranger if I thanked him now!

Thank you so much for the correction!
After replying, some users told me "Better late than never" :)
