How many of us have to edit every single post we make? |
|
Edited on Wed Oct-29-03 11:25 PM by Finnfan
We should form a support group. I have an English degree for Chrissakes, and I still type "no" for "know" in some of my posts. I don't know if it's because I've got a cheap keyboard, I'm a rotten typist, or if I'm just stupid, but I make careless grammatical and spelling mistakes in almost all of my posts.

4. I have to edit frequently. |
|
Maybe like my favored candidate I am prone to occasional over-exuberance.
Yeah. That's it.

I like this better than the old DU; the old DU put a big red line of data up for every edit; you had to delete them every time you edited (again).

This isn't a publishing company, I hope. I live with my errors for sake of speed. I figure my posts are crazy anyway and fixing them will only make people catch on to me sooner.

16. typing faster than you can think |
|
Edited on Wed Oct-29-03 11:54 PM by TrogL
(just being ironic)
I've been typing since grade 5 which makes it about 35 years and as a result I have this ridiculously fast typing speed. Speed is not always accuracy and my brain tends to churn out homonyms, antonyms and pure gibberish.
I watch the words flow by and wonder :wtf:.
Many of the threads I'm on are fast-moving flame wars so there isn't time to ponder so I have to go back and edit later.

I don't have an English degree, but I still know my grammar often sucks.

21. I have to edit at times |
|
I'm a perfectionist, so if I see a post where the spelling isn't perfect, or an apostrophe is in the wrong place, I have to change it.
I also edit when I think my post isn't clear enough, or for stylistic reasons. (for instance if I think of a better word to use in a sentence)

24. Me! But I often do it just to get the post out there - then clean or add.. |
|
..as (if) needed.
O yeah, plus I can never spell "separate" right the first time.

25. Sometimes - context is everything |
|
I edit a lot. Usually it's to fix something plus add a thought or two I've had since I wrote the post. :shrug:
I don't get too uptight about grammar mistakes here in the Lounge. It is the Lounge afterall.
But if I post in GD, I will scrutinize it more closely because I don't want my meaning to be misinterpreted.
