Thread: How often do you edit your posts?

  1. #1

    Default How often do you edit your posts?

    So how often do you edit your posts will on Eoff, and if you edit, how often do you specify what has been edited? By specifying I mean either writng "EDIT:" or writng a reason. Choose the poll option that fits best for you.

    I edit my posts very often. Instead of proof-reading before posting my messages or previewing, I proof-read after, and almost always find a minor spelling error (due to typing mostly, I'm a bad typer, but a very good speller). Either that, or I add something that comes to mind, or slightly change my wording. Usually I post before reading anything else but the first post, and sometimes I add something after I've read the comments preceding mine. Usually I don't specify the edit.

    Whenever I notice a mistake, I always edit it. This is usually after reading over it twice, or if it's a really long post, Copy/Pasting it to Word and spell checking it.

    I usually just put "Typo" under the reason thing.

    Usually when I want to add something that's relevant to the case, or if I notice an error of some sort. This often occurs when someone posts between me and the last reply. I've yet to use a reason, though.

    Not that often. I'm generally pretty good with spelling, so I don't have to edit them to fix that so much. Of course, it happens. I probably edit a post every day or two because I forgot to include some information, but I can't remember the last time I specified a reason.

    I edit about half of my posts, usually to correct a typo or reword a phrase I'm not happy with. I never give a reason, except for the sake of humour.

    Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.

    I have a horrible tendency of leaving entire words out of sentences because it made sense in my head but not when I typed it out. I read it and read it before I hit "Post", but I'm cursed and still can't see it until afterwards.

    Sometimes it's just to add things, but I don't specify what it's for usually.

    I only edit when I make mistakes, and since I never make mistakes, I never edit.

    I edit my posts all the time since when I read my post to myself after I post it I think someone might misintepret my post incorrectly so I make my post more clear.

    I edit my posts sometimes.

    Edit: Usually, I edit my posts when I have something I want to add so or when I want to correct a typo/fix grammar/etc. For the moment, I editted this post 5 times because I want it to be "perfect".

    Edit2: Sixth for good measure.

    Edit:3 I don't add a reason for my editing because that's for losers!

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    It's usually just for spelling. And once in awhile to add an extra sentence onto the end. But normally I spend a long time pondering about what exactly to write so it's not something that happens often!

    And I never put a reason. That is silly.

    Aren't you suppose to?

    After all the Cid's Knights are the ones that added the space where you put your reason for editing your posts.

    I think.

    Usually, I type in the quick-reply box and press "enter" too fast before I'm able to catch a mistake. So I use it often.

    EDIT: I've just used it. o.0
    wheee!
