Do you edit your responses often?

I do because I type very quickly and don't proofread before I post. I need to change that. Editing my posts make me look unsure or like I am changing things after the fact to make myself look better. That's not the case, but I should get into the habit of reading over what I write before I post it.

Yes. I have an embarrassing tendency to leave out words, when typing. Correcting that or some other mistake, is the only time I edit my comments [i]after[/i] someone has responded.

@SW-User Ha! I've done that, also. Pretty [i]crucial[/i] word to be leaving out, no doubt. 😬

@SW-User @Piper I am notorious for skipping words I intended to insert. Most of my editing is inserting the proper words that were there in my head.

@Peapod No matter how many times I proofread before hitting "submit"....I [i]still[/i] do it. It's goofy! I've even caught myself failing to [u]write[/u] a word sometimes, on a note or card. That's not quite as easy to 'fix'. 🙃

I am totally guilty of this. My editing usually happens within moments of posting and rereading myself. I for the life of me have no idea why I don't do a better job of proofreading [i]before[/i] I post.

I also type (and read) insanely fast. It's like my fingers don't keep up with the wheels turning in my head. 🤪

Yep, make lots of mistakes and if I see it, fix it.

I do the same thing. Also to add things I wanted to say that I forgot. My hands move too fast for my brain to keep up I guess.

I should read over my stuff too lol. Auto correct sometimes messes me up

I do ETA or sometimes correct misspelling / grammar etc.

Only when I notice I have made a spelling mistake.
If I make a tyop.
@FairyGirlGemma Like you just did?
It happens to me too often and then, ashamed, i'll edit.
@LamontCranston That was deliberate, typoing typo :p

Yep. I do for the same reason.
I have the same problem.
