do you proof read your posts?

I usually proofread at least once or twice. My keyboard is such that typos appear out of nowhere :/
 
I look over my post only once before posting. :X Then after I post, I read over it a second time and edit/add anything I feel is necessary.

...forgot to include that the edited thingie doesn't bother me. xD;

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

I do this as well, no idea why because it means it puts that little "edited" line underneath the post all the time. But I will often change my mind about a certain sentence whilst I'm rereading it after posting it.
 
Most of the times I proofread my posts and then listen to them with text to speech to check if it flows well.
 
IMO anyone who's native language isn't english should check what they write as they don't write instictively like those who's native language is english...
Mistakes happen to everyone, and everyone hates to read bad grammar!
I'm Croatian, but I speak and write english fluently... that still doesn't mean I can write any way I want to and not make any typos!
*I've just checked this post and it was flawless! I'm still gonna check the next one I write!*
 
I proof read them once I have posted them. Which causes some mild embarrassment when I'm not quick enough!
 
I proof read my posts beforehand. And while I did that I edit to make sure there are no typos and my sentence structure is alright. Or there are stuff I need to add. And sometimes if there is a post a I made like a week or month ago and I see a typo, I go ahead and change it. XD And I thought to myself , oh man why I didn't see that before.
 
Yes, and no. Sometimes, I'm so lazy, that I have no intention to read over any mistakes I made. o3o
 
nah, i just kind of post and run...so i probably make a ton of mistakes and don't realize it :X
 
I read it over quickly before I post it. I wouldn't call it a thorough proofreading, though. I'll still make mistakes from time to time, even if I do re-read beforehand. :p
 
I usually read them after I post them. Unless I write up a novel then I'll read it before hand too. There's something in me that just has to read all my posts right after I post them. I'm certain I probably still leave mistakes in them by accident though.
 
OH ,I awlays proofraedm y posts! ALways

All kidding aside, I tend to proofread long posts. If it's an important thread, such as a hack thread or pixel showcase or something, I will proofread it and preview and the proofread again. But posts of this length, I tend not to excessively proofread until when (if) I view the thread again.
 
It's become sort of a habit now that before I make a post, I preview it just to read it over and make sure it flows well and everything is spelled right (even though FireFox catches that for me already).
 
I always read my posts before posting them and after I posted them... To make sure most of the spelling errors are out of it. Also coding is checked once or twice to see if everything works.
 
Yup, I do almost every time. If I make a typo and I notice after I post it, I go right for the edit button.
 
Sometimes I proof read before, sometimes after. I generally do. Depends on post length and my mood.
