Do you feel the need to tell why you edited your post?

[Shell Beau]

9 times out of 10 mine is for spelling. Spellcheck is your friend and I rarely use it. I see my posts all the time and wonder why I don't use it too. I so need to. My fingers go faster than my brain apparently.


Edited to take that extra "o" out of to! :P

1. Not really. It makes people wonder.

[Fire Walk With Me]

2. Sometimes.

[XemaSab]

3. Sorry

I'm sure your mother is a lovely woman, and it was really unkind of me to imply otherwise.

[Shell Beau]

6. .

:spank:

[begin_within]

10. you so funny

[GOPisEvil]

4. If I make a spelling error, I usually don't mention it.

However, if I post something provocative and I make any error, I want to make sure who ever reads the post knows my intent.

8. If it is a somewhat heated discussion, I will tell why I edited so they

don't think I changed something up.

[petronius]

5. I usually do - mainly because I've seen other people do it

I guess it doesn't serve any real purpose, however, unless you drastically changed the meaning after someone responded...

[Robeson]

7. Nope. Not at all.

[bicentennial_baby]

9. Never

It's their problem if they care, not mine.

[DarkTirade]

11. Depends on the edit.

If it's just fixing a mistake I'll usually put *edited for spelling* or something like that at the bottom. If I'm just adding on to it real quick because I thought of something else to say right after I hit post, I don't usually do anything like that.

12. My dear Shell Beau!

Sometimes I do, sometimes not.

I try very hard to read my post over before posting, just to avoid having to edit.

What I like to do is make sure the edit happens during the same minute that the post did...

This tells me that I was on the ball at least a little bit!

Yeah, I know I'm weird...:crazy:


:hi:

[Lucian]

13. No.

Because why do people need to know why I edited my post? They don't.

[pokerfan]

14. Only if it's been more than five hours.

[sohndrsmith]

15. depends on my mood. : )

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. If I think it adds something by offering an explanation, then I'll do so. I do it less often than I did at first, because I realized that there are so many insignificant reasons to go back in and edit something that it's not as much of a formal necessity as it would be in a professional publication or article.

That's my take on it, anyway... still if the mood strikes me, I'll give a reason. Gotta love freedom of choice! : )

[Kat45]

16. Nope.

Same situation as yours.

[struggle4progress]

17. If I make a significant change, probably. Otherwise, maybe or not

[Radical Activist]

18. No and I edit often.

When I reread my post again there's almost always a typo. Sometimes I'll think of something else I should have said right after I push "post message."

[kentauros]

19. no

YNeos.


:P

[Richard Steele]

20. Yes.

Edited for spelling errors. :hi:

[Random_Australian]

21. Are you implying that there is something that could be further impruved in my posts?

That's silly.

[Duer 157099]

22. Not if it's to correct a mistake

but if it's to add something, I mention that so that if someone reads it twice (lol, like that ever happens!) then they'll realize what part I added

edited to add an example of what I mean, although I don't really have anything to add, other than this example
