I hit "Add Reply" too quickly! Options

[HakunaMatata]

How long do you take looking over your post before adding the reply or making a topic? How often do you end up going back to edit your post?

[technicolour]

Howssss about everytime I do make a post. Theres always some error..like just now I totally slaughtered the world always...

lol, nice.

Um, I quickedit pretty often. It doesn't take me long to post, unless I'm checking some coding on livejournal or myspace. I hate when I accidentally hit quote instead of edit, though. I've cut back on that lately though. (Yes!)

[Stefanny]

I just skim through it to catch my mistake. Usually, I find my spelling/grammar error as I finish typing the word/sentence.

Haha, and sometimes I just type wrecklessly and just hit reply.

[technicolour]

lol, nice.

oops. I reeeallyyy didn't mean to do that on purpose. I swear. Why did I even type L. L is on the other side of the freaking keyboard. Oops.

[OhMyAnniee]

I type & think at the same time but usually I end up erasing everything and re-replying or something like that.

[michellerrific]

I type, and then just hit reply but then most of the time i realize i need to add something. So i quick edit quite a bit.

[iDecay]

Usually, I type in a post pretty quickly unless I need some time to think. I have hit add reply a bit too early a couple of times and my post came out as complete spam. Sometimes, I make the worst typos ever. I quickly edit it. (Yay for quick edit!!)

[freeflow]

Most times I post pretty quickly, I usually only edit my post in the resource center. Most times I posted something or typed it out wrong.

[priyas]

I spend about 1 minute looking over my post.

[SarahxJoy]

Nowadays, I end up typing something in as a reply, then going to "quick edit" as soon as it's posted. Either to take something out, add something in, or simply correct some sort of grammatical error.

Watch, I'll probably come back and edit this post even.





Edit: Yep, I spelled, "grammatical" wrong the first time.

[multifaceted]

Not often. I hardly even look over my posts. And I don't use the "Add Reply" button.

I the Fast Reply button.

When I do need to edit that spelling mistake or some punctuation mistake, I use the Quick Edit button.

[*StanleyThePanda*]

Yes! I hate when that happens! I don't do it often, but when I do, it's so annoying.

Dang, I read the thread wrong. hahaha
So I just edited. Erm. I usually read over my posts AFTER or while I'm adding the reply. (while as in after I hit "add reply" and its loading).

[*Duchess of Dork*]

I don't even want to get into how badly I had edit posts when I was first modded. There were all these new buttons and the plus signs and the check marks were things I'd constantly hit on accident.

I never really use the Fast Reply option. Well, now I am because you guys made me curious about it. It somehow feels, I don't know, naked? Like there's not enough options. It's very strange, not sure if I'll reply like this again. o.O

I still edit my replies alot. I do this even AFTER previewing a post. I just never get it right the first, second, sometimes third time around. I think faster than I type, although I type pretty darn fast. I just don't ever look at the keyboard when I type. It's sort of this self-competition I have with myself. Yeah, that sounds strange.

Mmmk. Long reply done now.

word

[EddieV]

Takes me about a minute, sometimes really long...

[*Uronacid*]

I edit mine all the time... xD

I figure, as long as no-one replied I'm still in the green to edit my post. If someone replies to my post however, I never edit it. Unless I state otherwise.

[viugiufgjhfhjfhg...]

Depends on the post and on the thread it's going to be included. Generally I try to preview all the posts a few times around before hitting enter to make sure the grammar is acceptable and that there aren't atrocious spelling errors.

Sometimes I even try to make sure the words flow easily when read although that usually happens when I write long posts, which is nowadays a fading trait, but still.

[Jeng]

I'll check it over once, then reply, then if I see an error, then I'll quick reply.

Pretty much the same here. I usually don't look to see if I've made typos until after I've posted, so I use the quick edit to fix it.

[*My Cinderella.*]

I make sure I don't make any mistakes. But usually, if I write something long, I don't bother to see if I've made any sense.

[*Monochrome.*]

I see what you mean lol
I always spend like 10 mins looking at my reply before i submit it.But for some reason i always end up with a typo.Im to the point where i dont even bother capitalizing every "I" anymore.

[xhidethedetails]

I always end up editing my posts. For a spelling error or forgot to change the font size.

[Señorita Semi-Au...]

I spell check about seventy-five percent of my posts because Meli (Fabio.) makes fun of my spelling errors, but usually (say right now) when I feel tired... I don't.

[*Libertie*]

I kinda do the same thing, but usually I'm not quick enough. I'll see this huge mistake and be like "OH NO I HAVE TO FIX IT", so then I go back, edit the post, refresh the page, and someone's posted right after me quoting my original post. Busted!

[HakunaMatata]

^OMGYES. I've been quoted so many times with misspellings that I get so sad that there's no point in editing my original post because everyone already knows I made a mistake from the quoted version.

[AimeeLynn]

I think probably 3 times I have to revise what I am saying because I realize I sound stupid a lot.

[clarity]

I type at 91 WPM, so I'm usually to lazy to check if I've made a mistake.
