Do you proof read your posts?

eh, sometimes I do, usually I don't. I'm pretty confident that I type what I want to, and I don't make many mistakes. (Watch this post be messed up and full of errors.) I sometimes still respond to posts with terrible grammar, but honestly, I don't always. It bothers me to have to read through and try to decipher the meaning - it goes the same way for me and chatspeak.

Yes. I proof read my posts but I still make mistakes. My mind reads what I think I wrote but didn't really. I hope that made sense. lol

I do not proof read my post as I am using Mozilla Firefox, it will be able to underline those spelling mistakes and I will make the correction on the spot.

Ya, i think part of the reasons for those discussions not getting good responses are due to the poor grammar and the way the owner writes it. I did encounter some posts which i can hardly understand them so i will just skip it and go to the nexts. For me, i will always make sure my grammar is fine and easy to understand, as well as no spelling mistakes in my post. For those discussions with grammar mistakes and some spelling mistakes, i'm sill fine with them and will still respond to it, as long as i still can understand. I think this is part of the learning process too, for everyone. Everybody is trying their best to post here, so i think just give them some time to learn up to write better in the future.

I try to proof read all the posts I make but will miss something from time to time. As far as spelling and grammar affecting my decision to respond, no. As long as I can understand what the discussion is about and it is of interest to me I will respone.

I do read what I type but I still miss some mistakes. I do not think it really matters. It does not affect whether I post. I choose topics that interest me.

Sometimes but honestly not as often as I should becuse sometimes I'm in a hurry and just want to post what I have to say and move on, but lol my typing is not that good, and though my spelling has improved since being on mylot, I should definitely preview or proof read my topic and responses more.

I do read again before I post, and check the spelling for most of the time. Sometimes I don't too, when I am lazy. I always choose the discussion that I understand that, even it bad spelling or bad grammar, because every one got this mistake, it doesn't matter.

I try to proofread everytime I respond or start a discussion. But, sometimes, I just write whatever I have in mind. I guess, if people get the point in your discussion although it has grammatical errors, they will still respond it. Like you said, as long as the topic is interesting, I would love to respond to it. Happy mylotting!

rarely do i proofread. i am confident enough that my grammar and spelling are understandable that i rarely feel the need.

I try to, but my keyboard is messed up, so it's hard. I will read any post. I don't care if it's poorly written. If we start getting graded then maybe I will!!! LOL

I am the same as most, I hardly ever proof read what Ive written. I will simply type, read it as im writing and then submit....After time sometimes I notice my grammatical errors and such but no biggie... :) Now that this has been brought to my attention I will mostlikely start paying closer attention to what I actually write, I hope anyways!

I just respond to discussion which interests me, grammar error doesn't matter to me. I'm here just want to exchange opinions with people worldwide on some topics i'm interested and learn English by reading and writting posts. There are some mylotters like me are not from English-speaking country, it's hard for us to post without any grammer or spelling errors, but i think that's not the point. what do you guys think about this?

I will respond to a post with grammatical errors, but it does impact my opinion of the user. I'm not likely to put out a friend request to someone that doesn't make at least a marginal effort to fix their errors.

I do the proof reading as discussion itself tells about any spelling mistake, but i read as overview before posting the discussion or any response to the discussion. its only helps us, i think because if the response not understand by us then how we expect others to understand and give reply to them. isn't it true.

its ok for me as long as i can understand the post, i have many friends here who have very poor English, not only that they did it by mistake like you, but they really dont know .....but still i reply with whatever i can grasp and then write as much descriptive as i can...no punishment from my side...Happy mylotting

I will respond to discussions as long as I have something to say. Of course that depends on whether I understand the discussion first. I mean if it is only minor problems arising from here and there which won't affect my understanding of the discussion, I won't care about the grammar at all. Talking about whether I will proof read my posts? Well, I would say, I hope I had done so. :)
