If you touch type, you should never find a confusion between T and Y: they're separate hands.

Of course, other confusions are usually permissible, especially when you're in a hurrt.

Re: How often do you edit your posts?

I confess.
When quoting someone, I will sometimes correct spelling, punctuation or even spacing.

Can't help myself.
But I do take care to retain the original meaning.

Just call me pedantic, but just to show willing, I didn't edit this one.
