How often do you edit your posts?

I find that I am constantly editing my posts due to missing letters (I think my keyboard is haunted). Particularly when replying to 'Limericks' and 'End with a question' as time is of the essence.

More since I got an iPad as the predictive text can throw up some howlers.

My phone has a mind of its own, I don't spot the error until it's been posted as the reply box is very small and I can't always see the whole message.

Ditto Julie

Sooooo annoying, especially when it substitues 's' for 'a'

If I'm in a hurry, I don't always spot that immediately.

I often get a y instead of a t and the post it before I have finished writing it pretty irritating too

The most annoying thing is when you spot a mistake in a post and it's too late to edit!
...or someone nips in and quotes you, warts an' all!

I too edit quite often. Much of the time I use voice recognition software but some time it has a heck of a problem distinguishing between words that sound the same but are spelled differently.

I edit quite a lot, down to fat fingers I think.
One thing I would like to do sometimes is to delete a post altogether.

Oooo yes and sometimes instead of a capital letter at the beginning of a sentence, a lower case 'z' will appear ... or is it 'zh' ?


Pretty silly anyway
