I put it beofre.
*before. |
I use it most of the time when I make a mistake that will potentially prevent the correct word from being read. Other than that, I don't use it. I almost always correct my spelling before hitting enter (unless I'm too excited or angry), so I don't need to use it. Oh, but when I butcher a word...
OMG THIS IS FNATASTIC FANTISTIC FANTIATSTIC* FANTASTC** ASODIGH ;____; FANTASTIC********* That happens. XDDD; |
I do put one before a word when correcting myself on MSN.
Example: haert *heart On PC, I'd just edit my post. |
Yes I do, on the Internet. Everywhere. Forums, IM, etc. Even while texting. :P
|
Most of the time I will put * after a word to correct myself but if its a word that you can easily understand after a tiny mistake I often don't.
|
Only on AIM, really, and I use two asterisks. On forums, I just go back and edit my posts.
Normally, though, on forums, spell-check catches my typos before I hit submit, so it isn't as big a deal here. On AIM, though, since I type really quickly and hit enter without looking my responses over, I end up correcting myself a lot. xDD |
I put it before the correction.
I only use it on Instant Messaging programs, not forums. |
usually before. but i've been known to be rebellious and put it after. ;D
|
Before of course darling. :D Then it's the first thing you see when you look at the word. Or at least, that's how I like to look at it. Just my logic.
|
*Before. I didn't realize so many other people did that when correcting themselves. I must have picked it up subconsciously. :P
|
I edit if I can, but in an MMO game or chat I'll do the asterisk thingie.
After* |
It depends on how I'm feeling of course. ;D
Although, I prefer to put it before. It looks a bit cleaner, imo. |
I actually don't correct with an asterisk. :( I picked up a different habit from someone about 10 years ago and never looked bck.
back^ That's what I do, haha. It's weird but no one ever complains. :P Lately, though, I've been too lazy to put anything. If I'm correcting the word at all, I'll usually just retype the word as many times as it takes to type it right. XD; |
I put it before, it looks neeter.
*neater |
-I think most people do it before- I do as well.
|
On any messenger client I use, I place an asterisk before the corrected word. Like many of you have already said.
Funny, I didn't think anyone really placed it after the word. Not too many people I've talked to do that at least. |
Actually I do. It's easier because than my friends know I was correcting myself. Though, sometimes I typo and just leave the typos. XD
|
Always XD
It's an habit I got some years ago, and I guess it's staying XD I sometimes use "oreange -e" when I add extra letters, though. |
I don't usually correct spelling errors unless I type like I do instead of dont.. or if someone says what the tawt are you on? xD
|
Ever since I started IMing in early 2006 I've always used it before to correct myslef.
*myslef **myself (fyi above correction wasn't me confusing forum posting with IMing) XD Yeah I was introduced to it like that, most of my friends today now use it after the word, but I'm retro and still use it before. ^.^ Having: 'myself**' doesn't look as tidy personally. :S |
Before, always before.
Unless I absolutly kill a word. D8. Spoiler:
I was riding a bike. |
Before the correction, always, but only in IMs like a lot of people here.
If I'm really excited about something, I'll usually get the word wrong about five times, in which case I use about fifty asterisks. xD Like so: OH MY GOD DID YOU SEE THE NEW HG/SS TRALER. *TRALER *TRAILR *******TRAILER ASKJDGFJAS. It's usually followed by keysmashing. :D |
Like mostly everyone says:
MSN: yes. Forum: no, i just edit it. Texting: mostly. |
On Paper....I scribble over it ^_^ and Online I just edit my post. Simple!
|
I put it before. It's a habit I picked up from some old online friends several years ago. I had never seen anyone put it after until I joined PC earlier this year.
