Do you check Punctuation?  |
|
 When posting a discussion or replying to one do you check your punctuation? To be honest, I know that I should, but I don't. I know it is very important, but it would just take far too long to read through all your posts checking punctuation and spelling.

1.  Adelida2233 (765) | 2 months ago |  I try to make sure that everything is spelled correctly and that I use correct punctuation. I try to remember that there are many people from foreign countries that use this site, and I never know what their knowledge of English is.
Some of the time I can't figure out what word something is supposed to be, and English is my first language. Many people on here use an Altavista translator to be able to communicate, and it won't translate if the word isn't spelled correctly(obviously), so I do it for that reason.

 Mickie30 (1550) | 2 months ago | Oh right yeah, I see what you mean. I have pretty good spelling anyway so I don't really bother all that much. I am a professional writer and write so much that it is second nature. I suppose I shouldn't take it for granted though. Oh by the way your Siamese cat is beautiful. It looks like an old fashioned Siamese like one I had when I was a kid that lived till she was 20 and was called Samantha. I love your cat he/she looks beautiful. | |

| 2. wayz12 (532) | 2 months ago |  I'm embarassed to admit this, but most of the times, I don't.
Usually, I just allow my thoughts to flow, and just continue typing. I do break my ideas into decent sentences, and I'm aware that I have the tendency to overuse the comma. Still, I console myself with the fact, that I'm a decent speller, and as long as the way I'm punctuating my sentences does not prevent anybody from misunderstanding my comment, I guess I'm fine.
Although as a habit, I guess it should be good to proofread one's writing before clicking that post response button, but sometimes I would be in a hurry and I would forget.

| Mickie30 (1550) | 2 months ago | Thanks, I notice how you have carefully written out your response to this question. Seperating it into paragraph's and carefully constructed sentances. Can you imagine how long it would take us to write out the replies if we checked them every time though? | |

3.  Farside604 (412) | 2 months ago |  I am usually very relaxed when im replying to discussions. As long as i think my post is relativly coherent i leave it at that. As for spelling and punctuation i rarely check that.
