Good point Estelyn.

I think one of the reasons why many people are posting even though they are too tired to make proper sense, is because they are afraid that if they wait, somebody else will come up with the same thoughts and post before them.

Sometimes a post sounds a lot better when you read it over and edit a bit.

Personally, I always read through my posts two or three times, checking for errors before I hit "Add Reply". And then I check it again when it has been added to the page because the post always looks different then.
I think the most important thing when making a post, is to read it through a few times and think "Do I make myself clear? Will other people understand what I am saying?"

Too many people do not take the time to do that and that is why they end up with spelling errors or missing words.
"I am typing too fast" is not a valid excuse for not checking your spelling.
