Anyone else feel embarrassment after editing a post?

[jpgray]

That red text seems so damning.

:dunce:

[Fran Kubelik]

1. yep

:blush:

[wildhorses]

2. depends on how bad i goofed--

but, yeah red is a tad harsh...wonder if we could get the admins to reconsider:P

[jpgray]

4. The scarlet letters law of DU must be rescinded!

[wildhorses]

11. green is more soothing to the eye and more PC, too

yeah, i'm thinking a nice eco-friendly green is in order:rofl:

[UrbScotty]

3. Nope.

[NC_Nurse]

5. No.

Mine are always typos. Oh well.

[Cannikin]

6. I rarely notice my typos.lol But I often go back to add illustration!

[unhappycamper]

7. No.

[S n o w b a l l]

8. I didn't use to until there was a thread about it lately

Now, for some reason, I feel an obligation to explain my typos & incorrect grammar. But, I think I'll get over that soon.

9. To be perfectly frank,

12. I feel much worse ~before~ editing a post.

Those mortifying typos seem so damning.

At least, thank the ghods and Elad, it no longer shows a list of red text edits.

[Control-Z]

16. It used to show the edits?

I wouldn't like that one bit.

[SOteric]

23. Not the edits themselves,

but a list of the times you made edits.

So if you made 3 corrections to your post, you'd have three separate red lines at the top of the post, each with the timestamp of an edit.

Now it shows only one red line, the timestamp of the last edit; regardless of how many you actually make.

13. Nope. I do feel a bit embarrassed after reading your posts, though.

[jpgray]

14. We're also both fans of Bodhisinich.

15. Om

[MonkeyFunk]

19. Feh

he's got nothing on Dondi

[MonkeyFunk]

17. yes

I think there should be a two-minute rule where you get to fix that spelling error or add the perfect bon mot you think of right as you click "Post Message".

[jpgray]

18. Impulsive perfectionists unite!

[stuntcat]

20. *I make mistakes sometimes

Maybe I'm the only one though :shrug:

[Blue-Jay]

21. Screw you.

Edit:

Fuck you.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

22. As long as I don't explain, I can't imagine anyone would care.

Now if I qualify the edit with something like, "Edited for being a dumbass", it's a different story.

[crim son]

24. I'd rather have the red text

than appear to be altering my thoughts covertly. Not that anybody cares but I notice when people edit and always wonder why.

[cwydro]

25. Not at all

I hate making typos, which I do all the time. I am always editing.

[terrya]

26. Yes.

It's like I had a brainfart.

[CatholicEdHead]

27. No, not at all, I make a mistake and I fix it

[Guava Jelly]

28. I feel embarassed when i can't edit a post

Since i am grammarically challenged
