Re: Do you proof read everything you type?

Not if I'm in a hurry. Also my eyes aren't what they used to be and neither is my brain.lol. I used to be a top notch speller and good at grammar. That was before the internet came along.

Yes, and I still miss mistakes, so then have to edit. All of my edits are due to typos, and if they aren't, I use ETA.

I do proofread before I "send" emails, etc. I find most of my errors are due to autocorrect ... I disable autocorrect whenever I can ...

I try, but my fingers, eyes, and brain don't always work together. {#emotions_dlg.blink} I think they have decided to work against me.

Yes, always

I hate it when people misspell words. Misspelled words are highlighted in red so it should be an easy fix.

Re: Do you proof read everything you type?

I try to, this is a pet peeve of mine, however, I do sometimes type errors and it makes me mad at myself that I did not catch my mistake. I used to be a better speller, don't know what has happened?

Re: Do you proof read everything you type?

I have serious issues with my hands at times, and for some reason, I drop letters, or I just plain hit the wrong ones.

Most of the time I proofread, but I don't always catch an error. I may see it later and go back in to clean up after myself.

Me, too Smile

Most people here are pretty good about realizing mistakes are made, though. We all make them.
