Rheo Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Arguement is a common misspelling of argument. You are right. I am guilty of doing it but under Rheo's logic you are not allowed to fix it or add more information to your post because its "unfair". You are not even given extra time to add it.That is unfair. Everyone should be given time to fix or add information to their posts. 30 seconds is enough. Even having a "preview" before posting like they do at the TOS. We do have a preview post function. Under full Editor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErnstBlofeld Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 "arguement" LOL. Or have you fixed it already? I think we should be allowed to fix something. If they do not like it minus well take away the entire edit feature. They are starting to be hypocrites about it. We should have our entire thought clearly on screen and be allowed to edit our arguements.If they do not want that,have it TOS style where there is no editing. You have added comments with editing to this post 3 times. Not changing spelling or grammatical errors, but changing the words in your posts...adding to them. Why not just do a new post with a new thought. No other members are abusing the edit function. Why do you insist on doing so? We brought this function to our members so they could clean up an occasional ooops..spelled that wrong. Not change the words so the people responding are responding to a completely different post unknowingly. That is dishonest to me. You can defend your own actions, I'm done trying to explain why I feel the way I do about it. I do it because I want a clear arguement and a single thought. Sometimes, the after thought creeps in or a piece of information and I want to add it to my arguement. I guess something you do not want to have. You want the one sided arguements. I want fair arguments. You added comments to this post after the fact again. That isn't fair. You can add additional comments to a new reply and still have a fair argument. I did not re-edit. All my points were valid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pollyannaish Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 ErnstBlofeld a couple of simple suggestions. How about: "Edited: For clarity" at the end of the post—isn't that easy enough to do? I've done that on many occasions when I'm trying to fix something that didn't quite look right after the fact. That way I am taking responsibility for changing what I said and allow readers to understand the context of the conversation. You can even draw the posters attention to it if they posted a response before you finish the edit. And as far as correcting spelling goes...if one gets caught at it (and I am a horrific offender in this area), well, time to fess up! Perhaps a good response to Casino would be...."Ha! Yeah, spell check went south there for a moment but lucky for me I caught it and fixed it. So whatcha talking about? " It's not about combat, it's about understanding each other's points. There is no need to get upset, just a need for transparency. It's really easy to use the "quick reply" rather than the full editor and I understand that. But if you would like that preview function, the full editor has one and it's very helpful. If I start out making a short, quick reply and it ends up becoming one of those long and cumbersome pollyannaish rants, I can even click on "use full editor" without losing what you've written. We all make mistakes. I've made some whoppers (even just today.) But owning up to them and taking responsibility is where it's at imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepper Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I'm with you, Pollyannaish! How about: "Edited: For clarity" at the end of the post—isn't that easy enough to do? It's all about combat, it's about not understanding each other's points. There is a no need to get your panties in a wad, there is no need for transparency. Just bring a gun to a knife fight, as Zero told us. We all make mistakes except Pepper and myself. Most of of you have made whoppers (even just within the past hour.) But owning up to them and taking responsibility is where it's at imo. And wherever Pepper and I are, that's where it's at.
