I find that I will write 'form' when I meant 'from,' and will write 'I believe in abortion," when I meant 'I do not believe in abortion,:" so with me it is the deletion of a word, or the transportation of a word. Oh and forgetting the apostrophe. It would help to have an editor to protect people like me who write before thinking or write in a hurry from making a dreadful mistake of which I am still being punished for.

Maybe I should roll out my editorial skills to Interwebland. Send me all your stuff before posting and I shall personally edit it. I will charge $85 per hour! I bet there are some numpties who would actually pay for that!

It happens to the best of us. At least you're not a perfectionist like. I actually sit and reread my posts like twice before I sending it. I probably shouldn't care that much, but I consider a reflection on me. Even still, I see mistakes I made after I post and I am always wanting to correct them. But hey the alphabet really only has like 11 or 12 letter anyway, so most times we know what you mean ;) Keep posting. I love your posts. I bet you talk the same way you write!

I am not a perfectionist but there's one trying to get out I think. I get so frustrated because I am quite articulate really but my fingers are somehow disconnected from my brain!

Yes. I do talk the same way. Stick "P1kef1sh" (note the spelling) into Youtube if you want to see how I look and sound! You have been warned.

Well I'm definitely not afraid. I will totally check you out. Now I'm curious. I can relate to the fingers being disconnected from the brain thing. My fingers wake up hours after I'm already moving about...LOL.

Or you could use a spellcheck or check it yourself. There is a "preview response" option you know. :P There is no excuse for not double and triple checking spellings! I would like a decent grammar check. One that lets you know when you've accidentally put 'to' instead of 'too' or something!

hi pikey oh my why not review and edit Then you will credit with all the smarts right fronm the starts? lol does not really work there. I am told another edit button would be too much for the admins but I too would love to see it as I have previewed and edited and still found an error just after I hit post so would love one also.,

That is one of the very few changes to myLot that I would truly welcome. There have been a number of times when I have wished that I could go back and edit either a post or a comment. Of course, the same is true of one other site that I am on; however, that site is newer and seems to still be finding itself.

I make so many mistakes that I just do nit see until I have posted. An edit button for my discussions seems a not unreasonable request.
@p1kef1sh (45681)

I said "nit" instead of "not". And there's nothing that I can do to rectify it.

Hi P1ke, Happy New Year! I spell words wrong too. An edit button is a great idea.
