I do not error:
if a supposed 'mistake' is evident,
it was manifest by specific intent
(either for artistic, arcane, or occult purpose).

My dyslexia suit of programs notices my spelling mistakes not me.

After such an egregious error, i stifle myself.

Did I miss something? The possible poll responses seem to imply that TMP has a spell checker or that you can go back and correct errors at a later time.

I thought there was no spell checker and that editing a message could only be done immediately after it was posted.

Allen57 – You have up to one hour to edit your posts.

I do not error:

The word is 'err' – 'I do not err'.

if a supposed 'mistake' is evident,
it was manifest by specific intent
(either for artistic, arcane, or occult purpose).

Which one was that?

We won't mention the redundant colon, non-existent full-stop (period) and lack of capitalisation of 'If' at the beginning of what should have been a new sentence.

Next?

I manually check my posts, I use the organic spell checker in Firefox, and then I go back and edit my submitted posts if I missed anything.

1 & 8, and sometimes 4, sadly.

(The bizarre thing is that my spelling errors tend to be the use of the homonym that has the more unusual, non-phonetic spelling, as "knew" for "new", "know" for "no", "their" for "there" or "throat warbler mangrove" for "Quetzalcoatl.")

First option obviously, and my dyslexic keyboard has always been grateful for the Editor introducing the ability to edit posts some time ago.

Spell checkers are available as plugins for most browsers. Any browser worth having that is.

I use spell checker because I can't spell.

I edit. I was taught by Nuns(Sister Mary Mayhem's Grammaric Instruction Method) . Arthritis makes my mistakes.

Sheppuku – there's no alternative.

If I see it and feel like correcting it, I will do so.

Am I the only one that will admit to pretending to being Dutch? I mean Gungnir can't, he really is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm just happy not to see squiggly lines under the words.

Context is a matter for another day…

ochoin deach08 Feb 2012 12:40 a.m. PST

The word is 'err' – 'I do not err'.
