Don't your typos just embarrass you?

Typos are normal. I also have lots of it. I just don't want to read it and get embarrassed. You don't really have to worry about it because we all make mistakes. It's natural. It's actually my hobby to type and post. I don't usually check what I have posted. When I see it, I just tell myself "I should have checked it before posting it." But hey, It's too late and it's okay. I didn't mean to make mistakes.

even when I already here for about a year I still make that typos errors. Like you I felt embarrassed but then I guess members will understand. I remember a friend says that in this fast moving internet era it's understandable when there will be some typos in our writing. Or something like that...

I always hate it when I look back at something I wrote and then see that I made a typo or two. Especially on little easy words. Sometimes it happens with words like "they're" and "their". I know the difference between them of course but sometimes I'll use one in place of the other when it's wrong and not even notice. I guess sometimes I just get to typing too fast I don't really notice.

I think it just happens! I've tried to write my discussions on Word before I copy-and-paste it on here so I could get a hint on spelling and grammar errors, but sometimes it just escapes me. I don't want to be a perfectionist, but I agree with you that it is embarassing to see what we write sometimes.

I always think of the same way specially with my spellings.grrr. Just so embarrassing they might think I am stupid or don't know how to read and write english. I am not also trying to make my grammar very correct but some simple stupid mistakes makes me feel dumb sometimes to others.lol OH well most of the time i just post without reading again what I wrote above.hahaha

I think it's ok considering that most people in myLot have so many typos.

i dislike making typos but because i type really fast and don't always proof what i type, i do make typos. i guess if i dont have check i would rather not.

When my professor marks my paper and point out my grammar mistakes, I get embarrassed because I shouldn't be making mistakes on a formal paper. I don't get embarrassed for grammar mistakes I make online because it is informal. Just like in real life. I would be embarrassed if I say something wrong at a job interview but not embarrassed if I was with friends. And I consider all mylotters my friends.

Yes it is embarrassing when I make grammar mistakes, and whenever this happens I wish I had the option to delete my mistakes because having to look at my grammar mistakes forever does not boost my self esteem Also I've had trouble with grammar writing since childhood so I always feel a little embarrassed and it reminds me of those times as a child when I would make mistakes in writing In fact someone here decided to PM me, and tell me that I was misspelling the word "DOES" and at first I was a little angry, but later I realized that they helped me remember the correct spelling of the word (does) at least now I remember.

First of all, I have to say Thank You!!! I will get back to that in a moment. About grammatical errors, don't worry about it. You are doing great from what I have seen and like a previous poster said, no one is perfect. I am just delighted to find another poster who can write in complete sentences, ask logical questions, and overall be a good person to follow on Mylot. I have found that some days I can't handle coming on this site simply because a lot of the posters butcher english. You have no reason to be ashamed of yourself!

I am not really embarrassed or ashamed of my typos because I learn like that. Everybody pretty much learns from their mistakes and that's why I learn everyday. It's the same with driving we all make mistakes when we barely begin, but us we practice more and learn from our errors we become better drivers in no time at all. So you shouldn't be ashamed from your typos on mylot I don't think that anybody would think nothing of it at least I wouldn't. remember we are only human ans with being a human ofcoarse we are still going to make mistakes.

Understood, it is embarrassing to say the least. Its also contradictory when you type so fast meaning to say one thing, but write the opposite. I once made a discussion asking mylotters if they proofread their discussion before they post. One mylotter discussed what I just explained. Anyway proofreading is important, but sometimes it can be easy to over something you know is suppose to be there.

Sometimes, we get so excited of submitting our responses, that we are not able to review it. Because of that, those typos are committed. But don't worry, everybody commits them. As long as what you have typed is clear to understand, then don't worry about it.

Being that I have an English background, meaning that I have been writing my whole life. I used to take typing errors on the internet very serious. Then I got a twitter and all of that changed. I had to my whole typing style to get my thoughts across in 140 characters or less, so now the typo's don't bother me as much as they used to in the past.

I always read my responses before I post them, but I still make mistakes sometimes. I once wrote a response where I made some typos and missed some words and in order to clarify my point and correct my mistakes I decided to add a comment. I posted a comment...and then I realized that I also made a mistake in comment that was supposed to correct my response That day I wished that I were able to edit my responses! Another day I started a discussion about grammar...and misspelled the word grammar in the headline. Not exactly the best way to introduce my topic

Always... especially in the categories like "Writing". Spotted one in an email I sent a while back, too. Everything was perfect except the word "perfectionism", which I'd spelt wrong. Ironic or what?!

Some of the stuff we've written about without a second thought is obviously embarrassing.But the only plus seems to be we've realised our faults.We certainly shall not repeat them in future.I think its a part of becoming a better writer.

Happens to the best of us. Although I re-read my responses sometimes it happens. Sometimes too with FireFox spell check it is changing my words and I guess I am re-reading my post a bit too fast and it is not until the page is loading that I notice. It happens we just have to be a bit more careful. Nothing to be ashamed of, as long as we are more careful. Sometimes I see it as the page is loading and I want to cry, because by then it is too late. lol

My simple answer is mistakes is the stairs to success! Don't worry practice makes a man perfect!

I feel a little unhappy when I send post containing a lot of errors on mylot. However, I try my best to read through my work in later post to make sure that mistakes are reduce. We are all human being and there is no way we can be 100 per cent perfect.
