How often do you edit your answers? I'm a bit of an edit whore myself.

Don’t edit it a lot. It’s gone once its typed for me.

lol ‘edit whore’

Guess that makes me a edit whore too.

It just annoys me if I notice an error in grammar in my post.

It also drives me crazy when there’s no spellcheck readily available.

a LOT :-)
I’m not english speeker so it’s much harder, but I am doing my best.

“You’ve successfully edited your question!”

Because I’m intellectually insecure I often edit my answers to eliminate any mistake I might have made. I also read them over once or twice before I submit them.

Never unless I punched out too soon and notice a typo but I leave the thoughts alone they are what they are.

I edit if I spelled something wrong or if I don’t like the way something sounds (I edited that part of the sentence three times before posting). And that is actually part of why I don’t edit often actually. I mostly catch shit like that before I post it.
Questions are another stack of bullshit all together. I have been known to spend an hour or two forming questions cos I know those are generally less editable. That is why if fluther sends one back I just don’t bother with it. I feel I spend too much time on questions as it is. If it isn’t good enough for the people here who are prolly too moderation happy anyway then that isn’t my loss. I did as best I could.

Just my luck…I’m advised to edit my answer to how often I edit my answers…

Constantly because I abhor typos.
BTW- What does an edit whore make a day? I see a part time job in my future.

I’ve edited about 5 times, mostly to fix a grammar or spelling mistake. I have added more info to my answer only 2 times. It’s not something I wanted to do, but if I didn’t I would have been totally misunderstood.
I have also changed an answer into a whisper once.
I don’t think I’ve been overdoing it.

Barely, I am here to relax.

I tend to type things up rather quickly, as I’m usually multi-tasking. So, I edit often.

@Poopy You used to edit every 5 seconds and multiple times on AB!!! You don’t edit at all here???

@SeventhSense Edit whores don’t make much but they should considering the amazing number of word you blow.

I’ve got clumsy fingers so I tend to edit for typos. It bothers me when I notice a mistake after the grace period for editing has passed.

@janbb Ditto, hehe. I hate it when I can’t go back to fix it. It’s there for ‘eternity’.

@janbb Doh! That’s why I had trouble editing a response before. Grace period. It all makes sense now. Thanks!

@75movies
can’t say I’ve ever blown a word but I do nibble on the V’s..

@SeventhSense Make sure you don’t get any p in your mouth

P

Not very often.

I give them the quick once over and let it go.

Unless I spot something significant enough to change my meaning I assume good enough is good enough.

I edit them atleast three times (this post is no exception) and i usually hit the 10 minute barrier, so I guess I classify for edit whore aswell. I think we edit whores should unite under a big flag that says “OCD FTW”.

I just hate leaving poor grammar, wierd sentencing and screwed up punctuation out there for everyone to see. Also I usually think of more stuff the instant i press “answer”, im sure there is a psychological diagnosis for it.

OCD FTW it is.

@nisse
NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
atleast, i, aswell, wierd, i, ., im,
F

@SeventhSense : * twitch *. Sometimes i wish i could edit other peoples posts.

We can’t even flag them for the edit police.

I edit ALL the time.

Partly because I have a tendency to leave important words out because I type too fast, but also because I’m always finding better ways to say things and more information to add.

I’m constantly editing, for the most asinine reasons, but I just can’t help it. It just annoys me to see one of my messages with something wrong in it, not matter how minor.

This doesn’t mean everything is perfectly spelled, I obviously miss and fail to notice some things, but if I see it, it needs be rectified.

Which is a problem really, because my fingernails are long so typing fast on the keyboard often creates mistakes, like wrong letter placement, or I didn’t hit the shift key hard enough and have a comma instead of an apostrophe and so forth, gah…if you saw what my posts initially look like before I look them over and submit, you might understand my editing obsession. XD

You prolly already do though…edit whores unite!
