    Yes.I have good English skills having studied English Literature at degree level.However I also type very fast as I am so eager to get the words out so often end up making a lot of typo errors.If I spot spelling and grammatical errors I will always try to go back and edit them for correction.For me it is a matter of personal pride.

    Speeling, not ma bag, I gist right it as it comes out.


    Yes, I do when I spot them. I type too fast and my nails are too long, makes me have what I call Fat fingers day. That's the days that my spelling looks really bad.
    Then once my nails start to chip or break I cut em all back to start over and it's a whole new learning process to type properly again.

    I like the way you are sometimes loose with your spelling and grammar Orison because it makes you sound very personal and low-key in a nice way.

    I don't go back and re-read what I have written, unless someone picks up on it I am none the wiser.

    On here I try to correct any spelling or punctuation mistakes, if I spot them before the edit feature goes away.

    Usually (or ushally? lol) I don't spot them on emails until I've already sent them out. That spell check doesn't work if you have spelled a word correctly; but its not the word you meant.

    When I'm typing something fast, getting those thoughts out (here or in email) I may tend to leave out a word or words. Spell check damn sure doesn't catch that.

    I have hardcore OCD when it comes to writing. I must fix everything, right down to the absence of a comma. The Queen's english is a highly refined communicative tool. That being said, I wish we'd drop the U from everything..

    If I could marry the edit button, I would. I might get one tattooed on my wrist now that I think o fit. Of it.

    Some of my typos I've left because they were funny. I did edit the posts but just to make note of the typo that I was leaving *in*.
