Don't you hate it when

You go to start a new discussion, and get everything typed up, and it's not until after you hit submit that you see a glaring spelling or grammar error? It drives me nuts that we can't edit our own posts. I get so embarrassed when I leave a spelling error up there for all to see. Do you wish we could edit our posts? Anyone know why we can't?

Yeah that happened. When I see a discussion that says something like "I inally reached payouy" I feel for the HUMAN who typed it. I know the person meant "payout" but sometimes that's just how the ball bounces. Such is life. I'm glad I'm ot the only oe who does stuff like that.

Sometimes I just type too fast, sometimes the keys on my laptop tend to stick or pop out of place. Sometimes I just have fat fingers, it makes it hard to type properly!

I hate it too. I know we should take more time to go back over our discussions to make sure it is right before hitting submit, but sometimes we get in a hurry and do not do that. I have no clue why they will not let us edit our posts. I have never figured that out either.

I try not to typo too much, but I know I do. I guess it doesn't bother me that much. I think the reason we can't edit our posts is because, lets say we posted something yesterday and decided to edit it today.... well then their whole mathmatics and paying us would be messed up. OR if, we were paid for our posts in paypal, and then went back and edited them all and removed the content--- then mylot would be OUT money. LOL I guess if they let you edit your post the SAME day you posted it, that would be okay, because it wouldn't matter the next day.... That's the only reason I can think of as to why they wouldn't let us edit our posts.

Yup although Firefox has a spell check, I still fail to notice it. Really I agree that we should be able to edit our posts so that we could correct spelling mistakes.
