Do you ever reply to "replies" in.a thread before the OP?

I do it a lot. It comes from trying to actually read tHe replies before reacting to an OP. Sometimes you jump in when a reply catches your eye. Other times you might post a fast reply to an OP (usually somebody asking for info) without noticing that a bunch of people already answered.

Oh and did you know using quote marks can mean snark about term usage rather than spelling? I dont think.I have ever called out anybody on typos and I sure as hell wouldnt do it right now! LOL Just goes to show how easy it is to misinterpret intentions on the intertubes.

1. My quirk is that too often I don't read through the replies before commenting on the OP.

You do it right. A lot of times I can find one or several who have already expressed a similar opinion to the one I added.

And the written word IS tricky -- even among people (family, friends) that you DO know. We can't see each other's faces or hear the tone of voices.

I confess I do use quotation marks sometimes for snark, but most other times because the quoted word(s) that I would be referring to wouldn't be my choice(s) of expression.

I have to say, your typos from having to type on a tiny phone keyboard have been cute -- so don't worry about that! :)
