do you proof read your posts?

[Stratos99]

I always tell myself I'm going to start proof reading my posts, but by the time I've finished my next post it's almost instinctual for me to just click 'Submit Post'. I tend to have to go back and edit it manually which I hate because it leaves 'Edited By..', which I realize is completely trivial but it'll never fail to get under my skin.

I have enough faith in my language skills to not feel the need to check if I have typos.

I tend to write posts and make many mistakes, because of it, I've become a person who re-reads to make sure every sentence makes sense and there isn't a large typo that is extremely noticeable. It's a habit that will never die hard. After I have posted it, I also read through it once again then edit any as fast as I can if mistakes are made as it does irritate me if there "Edited By..." at the bottom of the post. If I know there's not enough time normally I leave it, but if it bugs me I just have to suck up the edited by and do it anyway.

Yes, though sometimes I won't spot some tiny mistake, and later on I'll go read an old thread that I made a post in and catch it, then edit it. :P

And other times, even though I usually read over my post once or twice, I sometimes spot a mistake while waiting for it to post, and then I quickly edit it when the page loads again.

I learned a lot from this one site that would ban you for bad grammar and spelling, as you have to learn or be banned. :P

Edit: Also, you forgot to capitalize the first word in the title....... :o

I proof read all of my posts 10 times over, and half of the time I end up actually deciding not to post it.

 

[Melody]

I do proofread them every time, editing my post immediately to correct errors I didn't see while I was composing it.

Just leave me behind, Captain..

I try to proofread posts often, but occasionally errors remain. Other times I have a change in thought and want to change word choice or something. So I constantly have to click the "Edit" button, it seems. I probably only have 1 to 2 posts where I didn't have to edit them. Even if it's a few days later, if I spot an error in a post, I tend to fix it... :cer_laugh:

The "Edited By" notice doesn't really bother me, unless the time differences are extreme (i.e., message posted on Tuesday afternoon, edited on Friday evening)...

Just leave me behind, Captain..

I saw this before it was edited, what a strange edit...... :O

But yes, Captain Grammar Enthusiast is here. :D

 

[Timbjerr]

Of gcourse, if I sdiopn;t go back and prooof read and corredct any typeos I makes, you'll end up with posts that look like this and nobody wants that. D:

[EDIT] It's funny how I intentionally left my typos in this post, but it's significantly more obvious in the first half of that sentence than that second half. XD

 

[Charizard★]

For some reason I proofread after I post them, then go change it if needed. :3

 

[Captain Hobo.]

I sometimes do, but not always.

So I will make some errors.

 

[PlatinumDude]

I don't always proofread my posts, but I only edit them only if I accidentally leave something out.

 

[Kenshin5]

Rarely do I proof read. I usually read through it after the fact and make alternations to noticeable changes.

 

[A Pixy]

Depends on how long, if it's short, like this, I'll probably look at it once.

If it's INCREDIBLY long like MY HALO REACH REVIEW YOU SHOULD ALL READ other posts, than I'll look over them dozens of time. n_n

 

[redsaber5859]

^same with pixy XD

I usually look over long ones multiple times

 

[professor plum]

I often do so to make sure my point was made, and I didn't sound silly. I often reword/rewrite posts completely if I don't find them sufficient.

 

[Livewire]

My Firefox makes the corrections for me, when and if I make them. But I still proof-read to make sure the post flows and makes some sort of sense. xD

 

[King Gumball]

Gosh I always forget to re-read my posts. And I usually have to edit my posts to fix typos. Occasionally I word phrases incorrectly and need to change to whole post >.<

 

[AshPikastar]

I usually always proof read my post but then once I submit I miss something in my post so I would have to fix it again. I think I'm going to have re-read my post three times instead of twice.
