Do you proof read your posts?

[Bichon Barb]

Do you proof read? Do you run a spell check? Or are you half-fanny like me and read through once as fast as you can? Do you not proof at all?

I'm ashamed to admit that sometimes I don't proof read.

It just depends on my mood

 

[Bichon Barb]

Ah heck, Nativetxn, live is too short to proof read.

Looks like I'm the only one who voted that I don't proof read so far. I admit to occasionally proof reading if I write a really long post - but in general I write like I'm speaking, so no proof reading.

I usually read through carefully (sometimes twice if it's a really long post ) but I don't do spell check and I do miss errors sometimes. No biggie.

I look over it quickly sometimes, but I always seem to find mistakes two weeks AFTER I post something.

I read it over pretty carefully before I post, especially if it's a new topic. If it's 3-word sentence response to a question, I obviously don't spend much time on it.

I don't run a spell check, but if I don't know how to spell word for sure, I usually open Word and try it out there first.

I usually skim through for obvious errors. I usually end up editing my post as I spot the errors after I have posted and see it on the board!!

 

[Pooh67_68]

I proof read, sometimes 3 or 4 times. I also spell check, and if after all that I still miss something, I will edit and correct it.
Only problem is I'm no good at punctuation.

My computer has an interactive spell checker, so as I type the spelling is checked. I then look over it quickly for errors - like the infamous to, too, two and they're, their, there errors which the spell checker will not find. Then, after it is posted, I usually find an error anyway and have to edit

I'm a skimmer but many times I have to "edit" after I have posted.

 

[Dan Murphy]

I review most posts, in varying degrees. Some posts I have made here have taken me several hours to compose, some secveral seconds. When I used to post picture posts here, I oten had to edit due to formatting problems. I will use Word or OE at times, and often use a Merriam-Webster popup dictionary.

 

[daannzzz]

I am really terrible at writing on all the message boards because I do it from work and need to do it fast. I don't often proof read and sometimes I am extremely shameful of how my posts turn out. Hopefully people get a laugh out of them sometimes!

 

[Banzai]

Profo reda?

 

[Nutsy]

Nope.

 

[Pop Daddy]

you cant be asking me this

 

[ShuisFan584]

I don't spell check, but I do read through my post once before I post it.

 

[browneyes]

Wut's spale chaque?

 

[UncleKyle]

Sometimes I do. Mostly I just ignore the obvious spelling errors like their and there and they're. I do those because my mom logs on the DIS often to search my posts because it makes her feel closer to me since I live 2 hours away. Hi mom!

I don't spell check, but I do read through them once or twice.
