Yes, I am exactly the same. Errors drive me round the twist and spell checkers are 'the enemy'.Re: Editing Posts Or Living With Your Errors?
Yep. Me same. Can't stand bad grammar. Can't stand bad spelling. I have to hold my tongue (fingers on keyboard) to not comment and suggest corrections because it was pointed out to me very vigorously that it is is bad manners to do this here. Maybe it was here or somewhere else but one time when I suggested respectfully that when you're making a preference between two things, you say .."This one is the better of the two". You only say one is the best when there are three or more. The response was something like.."An Australian correcting an Englishman (yes it was a man) on the Queens' English!?..How dare you!"..I ad a laff at that one He was probably joking..I hope!..But I've had other comments here about not correcting spelling that were totally not in jest. So now I keep my mouth shut.Re: Editing Posts Or Living With Your Errors?
I'll quite often notice grammar or spelling mistakes after posting and quickly dive back in and edit them, especially if posting in the Technology forum where I hope and strive to be precise and factual.Re: Editing Posts Or Living With Your Errors?

I suppose I am a bit persnickety about it. Maybe that comes from being an engineer. Precise language can be critical particularly when it comes to safety matters.Re: Editing Posts Or Living With Your Errors?
