I proofread and hopefully correct obvious errors. Can't catch them all. I tolerate the errors I see and hope the fear of proofreading doesn't keep anyone from posting.

Good Morning everyone. I noticed that when I go in to edit a post it than gives me 15 more minutes. I especially notice this when I'm looking something up for someone and come and go from the post. Anyone else notice this?

I try to proof read my messages and I have often wondered if we could request a spell check here on the board but I haven't asked yet.

I do the edit thing also. I know how to spell but my cat always has to be climbing around my hands on the keyboard so I hit wrong keys all the time.

i automatically proofread--they stick out like a sore thumb! there are some really funny booboos here on the board, but you can usually figure out what they're trying to say.
the ones that fracture me the most are the ones who still can't use the apostrophes correctly!!
