Yes, but even though I proofread I sometimes miss errors, especially missing words. The mind plays tricks. I just do the best I can.

No, I do not, but I read it after and a lot of times and then have to edit it. I know I should read first, but I am always typing fast and making mistakes.

Sometimes I do, and even then my eyes can play tricks not to mention my fingers if arthritis is acting up. Sometimes that can frustrate and then I don't bother with the message. GROWING OLD IS NOT FOR SISSYS! LOL.

No, not usually, but then like Ballet Babe said, I re-read and edit the mistakes.

Yes and I still miss things. The when I meant to say they is my most common error. Does the OP judge others by their mistakes? I sometimes do.

Yes. However, I still miss things sometimes, and then I do go back and edit it (which may be immediately or later in the day when I actually catch it and go oomph!).

@Big Sister

The internet is slower than my fingers and my mind is faster than both!

We just got our first misspelled, grammatically incorrect solicitation text message from some random company! DHs comment: "Can they not pay enough to hire someone who can write/spell?"

i always proof and spellcheck if needed, but i still have typos on occasion.

the thing is.......you really cannot proof your own work. you need a different pair of eyes to find your errors. you can check and check and still miss something that is staring you in the face.lol

Yes, but since one's eyes tends to see what they expect to see plenty of typos are missed.

It's just too much.

I don't understand your post.

Yes I make mistakes that I miss so I hope everyone gets the gist of what I'm saying.I don't expect perfection from anyone so that includes me.

Yes, and spell check also.

Agree with all posters. Have to admit, I do judge people by their spelling and grammar, and yes, getting old is not for sissies. (note spelling)
