Typos / myLot

India

September 27, 2023 1:12am CST

Why is it that I do not see those red lines that help one to correct the typos? Why is it that I see those typos only after I plan to comment on responses received? . I quickly get them corrected and yes I feel quite embarrassed when I see them and wonder what reaction those that read my posts have!! Here it is a violation to point out typos but I did receive a message one day about it but I had already noticed that typo and corrected it. This post I read a million times before posting

Are you a victim too? Do you correct the typos when you notice them while you are commenting on responses received?

It is not a violation to point out typos. Typos are errors. It is a violation to criticize others for how they speak English.

I'm more prone to make typos when using my phone to mylot. The screen is smaller and so are they alphabets/numbers. I usually come across typos only when I reply to comments, following which, I correct them

I reread my posts to look for typos, so I usually catch them and the red lines. Sometimes though, spell check changes a word I wrote, and I occasionally miss that. Because I certainly know what I meant, but spell check did not.

Since there is no red line when the word changes you cannot possibly notice it

@allknowing I guess & sure those red typos indicates that ' no meaning ' or yet the spellings to be corrected .. I have seen it in all while doing it in topic posts , comments , particularly in mentions '@' ... This typo is still here while I mention you here ! It will disappear after posted

For some reason I don't get the red lines. I always find the mistakes afterwards.

Usually if I found a typo I always edit it immediately but sometimes my browser crashes.

I think it's just easy to see what you think you have written, rather than what is actually there.

I have not reached that stage though and I know that is possible . Sometimes even in real life we do that by saying "I told you so" when actually they were just thoughts and not articulated (lol)

I believe it is violation only if we criticise And by the way I am waiting since 5 hours for .0045 cents to reach payout despite receiving many responses and comments in that period. How about that? (lol)
