Do you find yourself rereading your answers and editing fhem?

You know, for spelling, punctuation and grammar? Or because you thought of a good line that you could add?

I know I do. And I’m not even close to being the anal retentive type. Is it just me? Or is it widespread?

It’s not just you…and I’m glad it’s not just me then.

The weird thing is that the spelling mistakes jump in my face only after I hit the Submit button…I could not see them during the Preview phase….must be a blind spot somewhere.

And yes, once you read your answer, then you realize you forgot an important point, so you go back in there and try to fix it…

For me, an answer is a work in progress…

It sounds like a dishonest practise.

But, on the other hand, if you want to correct mis-statements it is OK. If you throw an unnecessary word, like “NOT”, into it, it is honest to remove the mistaken word.

Ultimately, what I am doing here is not gathering points, or “best answer” awards (though I do have some).

What I try to do is share my heart and mind with YOU and others.

Maybe something I say may bless a person on line.

Improving answers is a form of cheating on the “best answer” competition…but if it is your intention to just communicate your heat & mind more clearly, “fixing” your answer (after the fact) is OK with me!

I do that if I have answered without a second thought. Good questions stay with you for some time. I that case the after thought sounds more rational or logical.

No puns intended but I think you’re to self absorbed.

I like your stuff though…. and at times very humorous.

Yes I read my answers again, to see how I fared, but not to add or correct my spelling. But if you do, so be it.

tooooooooo OK

Stooge did ya smell it?

fhem = them? 🙂

It’s hard not to, seeing as most of the questions here are marginally readable. I’m just hoping most of the people on here are 3rd graders and not adults incapable of constructing a sentence.

I do on occasion. Probably 50/50%

If I see mispelled words, I absolutely have to fix them. I cannot stand not spelling properly.

I totally do the same thing.

Sometimes even additionally adding a bunch more text after I’ve submitted the original question. :).

to keep from appearing the fool of course I do–that’s just me–a perfectionist and I am anal retentive, lol

I definitely do. If the formatting is off, or if I incorrectly worded something, I’ll switch it around.

Yes, doesn’t everybody? Then again, seeing some of the things written, no, everybody does not.
