No ‘edit’ button for the time being
At this time, we’re deciding against an ‘edit’ button whereby folks could modify their own comments. While such a feature would allow folks to fix their typos, it also would come with some downside potential, per the experience of other site moderators I’ve talked with regarding such a feature. Sooo, if you would like to try to avoid entering typos, I would suggest a quick proofread before hitting send. Or maybe compose what may be a lengthy comment in Word or some other text editor that is easier to see lots of text in and that offers some sort of spellcheck functionality, and then copy/paste into the comments box. At any rate, most typos don’t keep one’s point from coming through, and if there’s any question, folks can always ask for clarification.
OHHH the inhumanity of it all!!!!
JK
The ‘put it into Word’ thing you recommended seems to be helping me some. =)
“OHHH the inhumanity of it all!!!!”
I can hear the violins playing in the background… :-D
Seriously, though, thanks for your understanding.
Just to let you know if you switch over to Firefox (it’s free at Mozilla.com) one of the options you have for your web browser it to spell check as you type.
If you are already using Firefox just right click (or ctrl click for you MAC users)on your field and choose spell check.
Thet is oh k, n knee way. We no whut we are trying 2 say n knee who.
And, oft times when the post is of the most eloquent, most proper and most grammatically correct structure and intent, the point gets missed just the same. But wow! This is certainly a breath of fresh air in our community of readers, writers and arithmeticians.
I think my errors bring my posts more charm.
