I usually catch all my mistakes after I've posted so then I just go in and edit. Don't know why I just don't use the spell check.

One time I misspelled the word 'intelligent' and didn't catch it until much later. That was embarrassing.

What I don't like is after you hit "Post" you realize that you have made a mistake. No one has read it yet so you try to edit as quickly as possible. By the time you are finished editing, a few people have read the Post with the mistake.

If only there was a way for no one to see it until after the editing lol.

Sometimes I can't believe the mistakes I make.

One of my claim to fame is I can still type fast.

However when I'm in my bedroom watching TV, I use my iPad. I have to hunt and peck here. I'm about ready to go nuts.

It's so slow and often the words stick together.

I try to re-read them before I hit the post...but I find my diatribes (I call my posts) so boring I hate to re-read them.

I used the wrong tense of a verb.
I ended a sentence with a preposition...GASP!
Mis-spelled a word & spell check didn't catch it.
It was early...that's my story & I'm sticking to it!

Just edited to add a period at the end of sentence #3.

No need to GASP in ending a sentence with a preposition. It is perfectly acceptable in casual conversations/writings.
