My kingdom for the ability to always spot typos first. then hit post!!!!!

hi changjiangzhibin right on . haste does make waste. Yes I find mself hitting s when I wanted a or vice versa . and the T and Y keys they hate me. lol then I see the errors even after I hit post I automatically try to correct.of course its loaded and there they are the mean little buggers of errors. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

hi chang yes I do check beforeposting but still some little mean snag of a wrong word seems to hide until I hit post. then suddenely there it is glaring hard at me and daring me to try and change]it which does no good once you press post.

For me, I have no choice but to check up before posting.However even though I do so,I can't say for sure there are no errors in my comments or responses.

Maggiepie reviews and reviews, which is why I have thousands to her hundreds...

hi ElicBxn do tell Maggiepie that I miss her discussions as they' were fun and told it straight and I never ever remember her making an error so she must have done like yu said.give her a hug from hatley. lol

Hi ElicBxn or down instead of don't which really does not work when you want to say I don't think this will work puttind I down think is really going to have people puzzling as to what did she mean? and to top things off I was doing so good yesterday had previewed and saw no errors only to be told I had used an impermissible word.I checked and yes I had spelled as with an extra s' so at least I could correct it and thus relieve the admins of having a naughty word . I had never mean to say a.s.s at all as all I was after was to simply write the word as. I seldom hit preview either but a lot of time I just go down line by line til I get in a hurry.,

hi tina. oH I go agree. Somehow a silly error that does change the meaning still hides until you have hit post then you see it. an other edit button would save having to post a comment telling that the word down was supposed to be don't as in I don't think I should do this but when I typed down I had to explain. I down think makes not sense at all so I felt I had to explain my goof.

carl hi and I bet you are very successful in whatever you do as you take the time to save time by correcting and editing as you go. My son tells me its in the details and he is right.When one errs,its generally one of those things where you were going to fast thinking for your fingers to keep up,. so then one should really proof. I like what you say in your response as I have felt 'that way a lot of times. I love to write and am an unpublished writer. You take pride which is something we all should do so as to make quality posts

No dear, I assure you, we are not the only people who make mistakes while typing.. there are plenty of them.. I don't have a spell check tool :(. So my eyes are constantly glued to the screen when I type... Many people are astonished to see me typing with such a speed and without even looking at the keyboard... LOL Tell me dear, doesn't it feel great to be a touch typist???? :)

yes Mr Pearl it really does as I can watch what I am writing and not have to hunt and peck like my husband used to do. lol lolo

hi mr pearl oh thanks thats what I have to do.I also am a touch typist and I can usually type 40 words a minute but I still do make those stupid ones like down for don't now down think makes no sense at all but don't think was what I meant to write.I have spelling checker but it does not help when you type the wrong word as long as its correctly spelled. lol ah Let it be remember the old Beatles song Let it be? great song too. I am so glad I am not alone in these silly blunders. lol

hi dorannmwin I have noticed you rarely post an error so I assume you did sort of edit as you went which is what I have had to do lately. I think after I had that semi coma when I had too high blood sugar it set off some odd little errors I seem to make. I never had any problem before but if I carefully edit I am fine. I still do have all my marbles though which I am grateful for at my age. I think it would probably be a bit hard for the admins to add a second edit tab.Also some would be tempted to rewrite the whole thing. I guess its best if we really do hit preview and edit and do our thing. lol Actually like Mike said haste causes waste.So I slow down and go line by line and find by doing this I actually make fewer errors to start with. that suits me just fine.

hi greenmoo yes just as you hit post comment or response then you see that miserable little hiding typo, just like you said. then I post a comment to explain what I meant the word to be. lol

hi bunnybon you too. wow. I also was a great speller in grade school and won the district but lost the semi National and my best friend won it. I remember I was 11 and was heartbroken as I misspelled enigmatic and now look I misspelled it and the spelling checker of course gave me the right spelling.what happens to us in our older years? Well I am so glad I am not the only one

hi JenINtn is that not the pits as one thinks quick I will change that to correct spelling or to the right word,then when it is loaded there it is the nasty little error or wrong word, you were'just a second too late. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

hi shibham you do so well really I am amazed.It takes courage to take on English as a second language as I think its not that easy a language to learn. I was born speaking it and even so like now make typos .I have firefox which also has a spelling checker but for whatever reason lately I have a hang up of typing the wrong darn word and of course if it is spelled correctly the spelling checker cannot help you. so slowing down and reading each sentence for any wrong words is the only way to avoid it.

hi thesids I think at times I am on a roll mentally but my fingers are not swift enough to catch up with what I am trying to write hence it gets murdered and I bave to edit line by line just to be sure I wrote down what I had meant.I think we all do naturally supply the missing word or change it from the wrong one to the one that does make sense.

hi my4cats oh my goodness hope he wasn't too upset but guess he was not as he became your husband. Hiney now that would be just a touch different than honey. he he.So really I am not alone in typing typos that change the sentence. I down think that is wrong when it should have been of course I don't think that is wrong was the sentence that I typed in a post and had to explain in a comment as I had already hit post response. So I explained the right word was don't. wonder how much it counted off if anything for goofs like that? well I shall just have to be more careful. I have spelling checker so no excuse for those typos except of course the spelling checker cannot help if you used the wrong word accidentally as it just looks for misspelled words. lol

hi PointlessQuestions oh shame on that iphone mayhe its just jealous Glad I am not alone. the odd thing is I scan the whole post looking for a last minute error and I guess it hides its mean little head from me.

hi koopharper yes it does really screw things up and so many times we do not see we left it out until we have pit post and thats too late. Ye p I too have felt like a mornon.
