Do you edit/proofread your posts?

[Electron Blue]

I try to, as I'm a stickler.

 

 

edit: fixed some punctuation 8-)

[sweetpeteman]

Me be a good english major.

[CubColtPacer]

I try to read my posts again, but most of my proof-reading is done as I type. If I see a mistake afterward though, I'll usually edit my mistake.

[Handlebar McSkullet]

I guess it depends on how large the post is. If it is just a sentence or two, I never proofread. If it is a long one, I try to, but I have terrible grammar.

not like im writing a paper thats going to be published and sent around the world

[Derwood]

i generally write pretty well the first time. on message boards, i don't usually bother with capitalization or whatnot, and firefox 2.0 does the "red underline" on misspelled words, so that helps.

[PrimeTime]

Me fail english, that's unpossible!

Yes. I hate when my post doesn't have correct grammar, although I don't mind that much if it is the case with others as long as I can understand it.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I have a staff of 12 English professors to proof my stuff.

[Careless]

I write everything perfectly the first time

[CubinNY]

Usually when I'm posting I'm also doing other things as well. I'm very good at multi-tasking. However, multi-tasking creats errors and this is a message board for baseball and not an English class. Most of the time it's not hard to get the jist even if all the words aren't spelled correctly and the grammar is poor.

My mother was an English and Journalism major and my dad is an English professor, so yeah, I edit my posts for everything I catch.

[CuseCubFan69]

There's a way to edit a post?

 

I don't spell that well and my grammar is below average and I try to edit as much as possible. There are certain words that I screw up consistantly that drive me to maddness and no matter waht I spell them wrong the first time even though I do know how to spell them.

Yeah, my mom was an English and Journalism major too and is an editor, so I definitely proof all my posts.

[soccer10k]

I generally try to catch errors as I type them.

So you consistently misspell "consistently" as "consistantly." :lol:

Truth

[Roast]

What do you think?

[CuseCubFan69]

the newest firefox makes proofreading so much easier.

 

How?

[wvcbxl]

I reread everything I write, but since I'm not a native English speaker, that doesn't always help.

Thanks for helping a native English speaker feel worse! :oops:

[hardcorecubfan]

Misspelled words are underlined red in text boxes. Like in Microsoft Word.
