Anyone else alter their posts a lot?
« on: May 03, 2014, 10:58:17 pm »
Whenever I post, I tend to post something, then edit it a bunch of times, fixing things or just adding after-thoughts. Does anyone else do this, or is it just me?

Just curious!

Oh god yes.

I edit my posts all the time, whether I'm adding more information or fixing a fatal typo. I usually am on the forums with my phone, and autocorrect seems to hate slang words such as "yew," "lol," etc, and I notice they have been changed after I post.
Also, (again, stupid phone) when replying on help threads it sometimes doesn't notify me of a new post, so I usually have to edit for repeating information. That can get annoying, especially if there's a large quote.
Even though I can get sick of editing posts, imagine what it would be like without the edit button... O_o

Edit: OH GOD TYPO THE IRONY

Oh my gosh, without the edit button I'd be a mess. Incomplete sentences, chaotic explanations, typos galore. General post-chaos basically

EDIT: I noticed a few typos in your original post and couldn't help but chuckle, knowing you'd have to go back and edit...a post about editing... LOL

I don't really edit my posts a lot to be honest ;o;
Then again I tend to re-read and check my posts a lot so yush. I only edit them if I made a typo or missed a word and stuff like that
Please, feel free to call me Genny. x)

Most definitely. I tend to preview my posts multiple times before posting (usually when I have a longer reply) as Genny said, but once in a while I'll remember there was another point I wanted to add in there.

So, yesh~

I read over it twice, then as soon as I post it, find typos my brain ignored during my first two preposting typo-checks. So thanks brain

Normally before I post, I press the Preview option and re-read what I just typed. Thus, not too often do I edit my posts. The only time I do is if I accidentally double-post in which I go back and type somethin' along the lines of, "Whoops. I double-posted. Please pay this particular post no mind."
There's also times when a typo or two may slip my notice or when this occurs, like Ms. Eclipse has stated:


Also, when replying on help threads it sometimes doesn't notify me of a new post, so I usually have to edit for repeating information. That can get annoying, especially if there's a large quote.
Then there's the rare, "Oh. I have more to add in order to make my point more clear to whomever may be readin' this" occurrence that also causes me to press that edit button.

Oh my, yes, I do it all the time. xD
But now, first I use a 'preview' button before I post something important. :)

It does happen, quite often I'd say.
As I tend to write and write, not read things through before submitting.
Then realizing I've missed something, worded something or spelled something wrong.
RETIRED.
