Do you make mistakes in your posts often? If so, how easily do you notice them? For me, it's very frequent, but they don't really catch my eye when I post my message, though. :( I'll re-read about two - three more times to be extra careful, but my brain automatically fixes all errors I have there and makes me think it's a-OK. When I leave for a while and come back, though, then I'm actually able to notice them. Sometimes, I don't really bother fixing; people have read my post already, so I just don't see much point in it, haha. Plus, it leaves that "last edit" note at the bottom, which looks sort of unattractive to me.

I don't usually make too many mistakes just with spelling and that, but I've gotten into the habit of immediately editing my posts to add things or clarify what I'm on about haha. It's honestly a bad habit to be in because people will read your post while you're editing and not get idea. Or not even get the whole story- I've immediately edited a post and added an additional two paragraphs before. I think that's all cause I don't really think before posting- I just stop when i feel done and then hit post and something will occur to me as it's going live.

I don't make errors that often when I'm posting 'cause I read over and lip-sync what I'm typing just to make sure it makes sense etc. If I do make a mistake, I'll usually notice it straight away and fix it up quickly.

I rarely make mistakes. If I do, I usually halt pressing the reply button and reread what I'm posting. About 96% of my edits are from adding new material, anyway.

I might make a typo every few posts, but I only edit it if I didn't quote someone in the thread - it annoys me if I get two notifications for the same post and if I'm only fixing something small there's no reason to add an extra notification.

Oh, it's much like this for me. I make lots of mistakes that I don't catch until I've already submit. I do go back and edit, though. That sometimes leads to the weird situation where I'll have changed something that someone's already responded to and I have to ask them to go back and look at how I changed it.

I have on occasion made quite a few mistakes in my post that I don't catch in a proof read and then I'll come back and edit them back to how they should be.

I make mistakes all the time, and it's common whenever I have to lock threads in my section, or sometimes even move them. However, when it comes to catching those mistakes, sometimes I catch them immediately, and sometimes I don't.

I always try to double check my posts before I post them. Sometimes I have a tendency to start typing really fast and then I totally lose it with my spelling and grammar. :P

In fact I just had to spell check about five words or so that were messed up just because I hit the wrong letters haha!

I make more mistakes than I'd like. D: I try to skim through my posts before submitting but usually don't catch mistakes since my mind automatically corrects whatever's wrong, lol. It can be pretty annoying (especially since I type fast). >_>;

Amongst the 2000+ posts that I've accumulated within the last 4 months, I've probably only had to edit a post for grammar/spelling mistakes 5-10 times so using that, I don't think I've made that many significant mistakes :P I normally find my mistakes before posting since I look through each sentence one-by-one individually after I've typed it.

I make typos occasionally, like once writing "AlphaSapphire" as "AquaSapphire" because the letters are so similar. Yeah, but when I see a typo I mostly try to correct it when I can.

I seldom make spelling mistakes in my posts; however, I tend to word things awkwardly and don't notice until after posting. I then usually end up editing those posts three-five times XD

I almost make that one too at some point {XD}
I find that at some point, I'm making some typos when I missed it, and I realized it after I entered the Submit button, and I have to edit it straight away. It troubles me sometimes.

I take way too much time looking over my posts multiple times, so rarely do I let a mistake slip by. Once in a blue moon I'll see that I spelled something a few days later, but at that point I don't bother fixing it, since enough people have probably read it (unless it happens to be in the opening post- then I'll go and correct myself).
