Dear Mods

*crikey*mate* — Sun, 06 Oct 2013 12:37:33 GMT

If you're going to edit my posts and if it's not too much trouble, would it be possible for you to fix up any spelling mistakes and typos they may contain whilst you're in there?

Thanks heaps,

You can edit your own posts for spelling mistakes. Perhaps slow down and you won't make quite as many.

If you use Microsoft spellchecker, then you are guaranteed to make at least a few spelling mistakes.

USA English is spelled rather differently to the English used in the civilised world.

LOL joono, you can only do that for a couple of minutes. I was going back through a thread tonight and saw an edit and was trying to work out what had gone and I saw all these typos!

meh, it's my keyboard - I spell and type perfectly! LOLOL

dunno how people with really long nails type, I fond as mine grow longer I make more errors, but I don't want to file them back yet, but they're not that long, heaps of people have way longer nails than me.

accacia, some of my errors I can't attribute to using the wrong spell checker LOL and I never bother on here, it takes too much time! I keep forgetting that posts don't time out on the new software, I keep thinking I only have a few minutes to type.

Just read this else where.

Be who you are, and say what you feel, because those that matter won't mind, and those that mind, won't matter.

Do you get a message saying your post has been edited by the mods?

Nice saying Hawk

I hate how they edit the posts.

I've only had posts that deserve editing, edited so far. 😄 It beats being handed holiday tickets.

Secretaries from a generation or two ago fascinate me with their long beautiful nails, crikey. Especially when you think of the force required typing on those old typewriters.

I'm with you EM

It doesn't take a genius IQ to work out what is likely to be edited - so it's a bit pointless whinging when it happens.

i'd appreciate it if they would remove my name from the post when they edit it.

i'd rather not be associated with a post containing THEIR words and THEIR sentiments instead of my own.

Often they change it right around so it means a completely different thing than when first posted!

Re: Dear Mods

just_me_karen — Mon, 07 Oct 2013 04:26:27 GMT

They always remove the best bits from mine 😞

Pepe who is THEIR?

Re: Dear Mods

trustmee-2013 — Mon, 07 Oct 2013 07:36:51 GMT

Their as in mods is my guess.

Best or worst bits removed is debatable

Yes it probably makes sense after it gets modded LOL

I often observe posts that are meant to harrass others in code, and when they are revised by the mods, sound polite and sugary.

Changes the entire context, and that must infuriate the ones who make them.

I seldom get to see those kind of posts before they get edited, but then I don't go out of my way to find them
