Some of us are at a level of education in our lives that we automatically catch errors like that when we are reading something. It appears that we are alike in that regard. And as an aside note, a person could make a full-time job correcting errors posted by many, many people on this board. I'm sure you can relate. :)
I try to correct my tipos.
It's good to come back, but I definitely hold people in authoritative positions to a different standard than anons on a forum! 🙃
Yes. I tend to come back to my posts the next day, see obvious mistakes that could actually change the entire tone of my post and do a quick correction. I know on a couple occasions in my sleep deprived stupor I have just pushed a whole bunch of buttons on my phone that seemed right, but
we'rewere totally wrong.I try not to be the grammar police unless someone else is trying to be a jerk about someone else's mistake, I just believe it's different when you are putting out official correspondence. You should always be willing to step away and come back to it before hitting the "send" button, in my opinion anyway.
It's a part of being professional too.
There is also the example of autocorrect making mistakes that I otherwise would not have made in the absence of it, and I just exemplified the importance of coming back to it because the opposite mistake happened in this very post, go figure.
I almost never return to my posts.
Maybe change this year?
I'd apply for that position. It's kind of fun for me, like crossword puzzles. Typos jump out at me, screaming for assistance.
I thought it was just me being OCD.... :)
