Okay, how many times do you edit your posts? There's a nifty little thing I found that if you edit as soon as you post, the little "edited last" notification doesn't show - I guess if it's within the minute or something. So I keep abusing this feature, and post, and then edit and fiddle with it and stuff. I'd say I edit every post at least once - be it for grammar's sake (mostly), semantics (you have to phrase things carefully or people go nuts on you) or content (like changing my mind about something or stuff).

I don't edit my posts too much, but when I do it's usually for a few reasons. I've either made some typo, spelling mistake, or grammar error, and I'll go back and change that; or I need to add some content that I thought of later. Something along those lines anyway.

EDIT: I had to edit this post due to a typo. :grover:

I edit my posts whenever I spot a typo, be it spelling or grammar. Doesn't happen too often, but more than I'd like, if I'm posting in a hurry.

However, as a job-perk of being a mod, the "last edited by" thingy doesn't appear when I edit my own posts, or someone else's. Since most of EoFF is kind and rule-abiding, I rarely have to edit another person's post to delete spam, flame or profanity.:)

I edit my posts to add to them or to correct terrible spelling mistakes.

I edit my posts all the time. I think I'm almost famous for my "EDIT BY BoB:" thing because people have commented on it more than a couple of times. But yeah, I try to mark every single one of my edits unless it's just a typo or something.

Somtimes I'll edit them. If I spot a big typo, I will. But if it's just a small one that almost no one will notice, I won't. It's not a big deal for me, actually.

I'll always mark my edits if it's to add content to my posts, but that rarely happens. Yet, I still edit my posts all the time, to correct typos and such. If nobody else has noticed/pointed out my typo, I usually don't bother marking it, but if it has had any effect on the thread, I do. A lot of the time I can't be bothered fixing errors I make. :p

I edit a lot. It's fun to list the reason why you've edited the post. xD

I don't make mistakes, so there's no reason for me to edit my posts. I'm practically perfect in every way. *guffaw*

You know, if you do all that stuff before you actually post, you can skip that whole "edit" thing and save time. >_>;;

But that's just me... *Shrugs*

I rarely edit, unless I make an obvious mistake—but I don't make mistakes... so there ya' go. ;P

I edit my posts if there's something I want to add, or if I made a spelling error or grammar error. Which isn't too often, but it happens.

Every post 2-8 times unless I know I didn't mess anything up.

I edit my posts way too much, and usually more than 10 minutes after posting. A lot of the time you will notice the "Last edited by Storm at xx:xx" caption at the bottom of my post.

I can't stand looking at my own spelling or grammar mistakes. It reflects badly upon myself if I do so, and I become quickly disinterested in other people's posts if I see too many mistakes. I'm a bit obsessive compulsive at times.

I only ever really edit my posts for spelling or grammar reasons, but I don't check very thoroughly, so it often comes down to chance whether I spot anything or not.

For Typoes, or end up up leaving word(s) out of my posts on accident.

I don't ever edit my posts because I am the greatest person to ever exist on the face of the planet. Not including Buck Showalter, of course.

I typo a lot, and mess up tags a lot, and never preview a post.

That's duly noted, my friend.

Way to keep your word. :rolleyes:

I rarely edit my posts. Only for typos and rewording and stuff.

My typing sucks.

I have a real problem with spelling. I don't look at the screen, and I'm always typing really fast, so i make about 10 mistakes in each post. A lot of the time i'm just too lazy to go bakc and edit them, so it stays unreadable. *shrug*


Sometimes I do go back and edit because there's something I fogot to say, but it's rarae that that happens.


:D

I'll edit my post if I notice any major mistakes/flaws.

I usually read through my post once more before I submit it, so I don't normally need to edit anything.

I always edit my posts and i don't list the reason why i did it either. I usually edit the minute i post so the little "edited" thingy doesn't come.
