Do you edit typos in your MyLot posts and comments?

I must have been distracted. I typed "your" when I meant "you're" in a comment on another's post on MyLot this morning. I posted it, read it, and recoiled in horror. Visions of @Maluse descending on me flooded my mind.
I immediately fixed the error, breathed a sigh of relief, and brewed up my second cup of coffee as I calmed down. Do you fix typos in your MyLot writing when you catch them?

Yes sometimes when I suddenly realized that I typed it the wrong way

@TheHorse Oh ok. I`m not too much familiar with brainos but I agree with you because not all understand when to use each of them

@TheHorse That's for sure. You misspelled they're as their in one of your responses. Too many people don't care about spelling and the proper use of grammar in their responses.

If I spot them then I correct them. I am a perfectionist. However, I may not notice them all since I am not perfect.

Yes I do this sometimes if i do catch them. I do some typos when making my post so i make sure to reread it before posting.

I save my posts on Word so those are all ready to go with no typos but when I catch them in my comments I always make sure I edit.

I always make sure I have no typos. Sometimes it takes many edits to find them all. And even then those pesky typos might still show up.

@TheHorse Would be nice if those typos fixed themselves.

I can see a few in your comment. But I am not a perfectionist.

Sometimes I do, pony, but not always.
It really depends on whether I mind bothering the person I wrote the comment to or not. If the comment wasn't important, then I usually won't send another notification to who ever I addressed the comment to...
Most of the time, if I correct a typo, I write edit to correct and what type of correction I made. At least that way whoever the comment was written to won't wonder what is going on.

Most definitely. One of the advantages that myLot offers over other such sites is that one retains edit rights to each and every post (or comment or response) one makes here, for ever...
Thanks to simplyme, @m_audrey6788, for the suggestion here.

Yes I do if I catch them. I bet there are some that get past me especially with auto correct
