NOT re-read your heading, or your discussion first, only to realize just seconds after hitting the start discussion button that you made a mistake you should have noticed right away?!
I usually revise my heading a few times so i get the words right, but when i do that they always end up SO BLEEDING WRONG!! lol. So anyone who has read my discussions with terrible typo's or missing words. . I DO speak english, and its my first language!! lol i'm just sloppy!
Do you ever have this happen to you ?

It happens to me all the time. We need a spell check on here. Usually I'm up late or early answering discussions so I have no idea what I'm doing half the time. But I feel the same way as you- I do speak and write English very well but sometimes you wouldn't know it. :)

We ALL have our moments in typos and other mishaps in life. That's why there are erasers on pencils because of our mistakes! lol Besides, the ever so lovely keyboard... it's destined to make more mistakes! (not us!)

Don't worry Lil Sis we do take into consideration that you are Canadian.lol I sure am glad that there are a couple thousand miles beteen us. You would probaly be throwing something at me right now huh. Like you hubby's boots!
Most of the time, when I do a Post the title is so long that it disappears into cyber space, and you cannot see what you typed at the end. You don't know if you messed up or not.
I developed a trick. I put the cusor in the middle, back space a few words out until I can read the ending. I fix it if need be, and then retype what I deleted. It works every time. Ok so I am weird and anal.
Shalom

Most of the time the title doesn't fit in the header for me either, so that's why i revise and revise, and then it makes sense in my head, and i read it right, but when i've already hit the button its wrong! lol.
Dont worry i wouldnt throw the evil smelly boot at you! ;) i wouldnt throw that at my worst enemy! P U !!

You are not alone, I've replied several times and found several mistakes but what's the matter? If the readers can understand the point I'm driving home then i think the purpose is fulfilled!

Once i made a spelling mistake and noticed that i mispelled a word only after posting it but before entering the tags.Soon i came back and wrote the same text and posted it with tags. I was not aware that if a post is made even finishing the tag session it will be added the the discussion. After posting my spell checked post i noticed there were two posts from me with same text. Before i try deleting the posts mylot has deleted both of my posts. That was one of my experience which made me to learn how to post responses.

Some days are worse for me than others. If I get distracted or something is usually how I make such mistakes. I do try to read what I have typed before hitting the button, but sometimes, I get careless.

Oh dearie, this thing happens o me most of the time. I am always in a hurry and always doing typos. And guess what, contemplating that I have just done a great job, just to bite my hands after submitting the discussion.
LOL..

Sometimes it does yes. When I go back to comment on someones response I will notice typos all over the place. Or just one REALLY obvious one. Once, I had a responder point out the typo. It was glaring. Oh well I just have to be more careful. Glad to know I am not alone.

A lot of the time and when you've pressed the submit button its too late! Ooops. All my typing errors out there for everyone to view. My brain working faster than my typing so I even miss words out too. The biggest boo boo I have made lately was having Paul McCartney divorcing Stella, his daughter, instead of Heather his wife...... I was tired and it was just after I had watched him perform on TV. How embarrassing. Oh well. These things happen. Not going to let it worry me, most of my friends on here are understanding when these boo boos occur and some don't even notice. Ellie :D
