So how often do *you* use the Edit button, and for what reasons do you do it?

Just a little while ago (at 7:59 AM, if you couldn't tell) I was rewording a post of mine and realized: damn, I edit my posts a lot. Most of the time it's not even to fix an error, it's just to swap out a word or two so that the overall message sounds better. Other times I do it to include a thought I had seconds after posting, which is at least a little bit less neurotic on my part. :D

A lot. Many of my posts are edited, seeing as I always have a grammatical error or something. Sometimes I edit it fast, so the 'Last edited by Hiche' won't show.

I mostly edit my posts (if I have to) as soon as I look at my post and go "Umm..no, that doesn't sound right." XD
So the Last Edited by Binary part doesn't show.

I usually do it immediately after posting (even though I usually use advanced mode and preview-edit-preview), either to add something I just thought of, reword something, or on occasion, catch a typo I missed before.

 

[Zeffy]

I usually edit typos and errors as soon as I posted it, so the "Last edited by [name]" doesn't show up sometimes.

 

[Aquacorde]

I tend to post, then think of something else or notice a typo or want to reword, then edit really fast so nobody sees.

Or edit fast if I got ninja'd in The One Above or any counting game.

 

[Charizard★]

Whenever I see a typo or I typed something that sounded kinda rude, even tho I didn't mean it :o

 

[jigglyppuff8]

If I can help it, I always use the edit button within the 5 minutes of that post so that "Last edited" thing doesn't show up. Just for the usual stuff: typos, awkwardly worded statements, adding clarity, etc.

 

[Rogue planet]

I edit my posts all the time because I usually hit the post button before proof reading it, or I'll change my mind about what I want to write. I'm always unsatisfied with posts I make so quite a lot of them have that edit line.

 

[Legobricks]

It's a common thing for me to do. I read through my posts a lot before actually posting them, but even then I end up changing things. Most edits are minor, usually rewording or addition of one or two sentences, but some posts have been almost entirely rewritten. PC might be a large and fairly active site but it's not all that fast-moving, so being quoted on a previous version of a post doesn't tend to happen.

I also have a tendancy of deleting my posts, but I've cut down on that since passing the notion that if I'm not sure I want to post, simply not to anyway. I'll spend 5–30 minutes on any given post so it's a lot of wasted time, you'd think, but I more enjoy making them than seeing others' responses.

 

[A Pixy]

I use it when I put my foot in my mouth and I need to remove it ASAP, so I usually don't see it. o3o

 

[Aizuke]

I tend to edit my posts a fair bit, BUT if I see a typo, or I want to add something more so I don't double post or post again. I do proof read before I actually post, but there are just some things that tend to go over my head.

 

[Jordan]

I pretty much edit a third of my posts within the five minutes before the "Last Edited" tag shows up. I usually edit to tie up grammar issues, fix typos, add a point I think would be relevant and constructive, or to remove anything I think might be a bit out of line.

 

[PlatinumDude]

Editing posts is a relatively uncommon task for me. When I have something else I forgot to say in addition to the original post, I edit that post. I also edit when I'm "ninja'd," but that doesn't happen often.

 

[Captain Hobo.]

I do it whenever I see that I mess up.

 

[jujuju]

I really only use it when I want to make a separate statement, but I don't want to double post. For example, if I make a post and then nobody replies and then I want to make a completely different point, I will combine them. I usually let my mistakes stand the way they are.

 

[donavannj]

I do edit a lot, but I preview my posts even more before posting them. XD;

 

[Eliminator Jr.]

If I've stuffed up the spelling of words or something after posting I'll usually go back and edit it. Most of the time the "Last Edited" doesn't show up because I edit within five or so minutes of posting. I also edit when I either don't want to double post or I'm adding something to a current post (eg. something I just noticed or just checked).

 

[Zebeedoo]

I don't edit my posts often. Even if there was a slight typo that wasn't really noticable, I'd just leave it. Though if it was easy to spot, I'd edit it. Or if I had something to add on to the post that I forgot about.

 

[Circuit]

I edit my posts quite a lot. Usually to put in an extra thought or change a word or so just to make my overall post sound more pleasant. On the odd occasion though, it is to change a typo or undo a caps I accidentally put in, when I missed it.
