Rereading

I wonder: does anyone else go back to what they've written several times after publishing, just to see if it still 'sounds right'?

SOmetimes days later I do, and then realize the spelling errors or improper grammer has been seen by to many for me to change it now and save face. :P

It's not 'errors' or 'improper', Rach; it's refusal to be bound by the archaic rules inculcated on your mind when you were but a tot by a stultified pedagogical structure which valued rigor more than the bright spark of creativity. Yeah, that's the ticket....

you know you're not smart when more then two of the words you just used had to be looked up for the definition. :P

I was showing off. Sorry about that. I certainly do not think of you as 'not smart'.

I do. I reread things several times... and it really grosses me out when, a day later, I notice I misspelled something simple. Doh.

I reread. I usually feel pretty good about the grammar and the spelling. It's the content that worries me. Yipes. I need to get out more. Too much time with the dictionary.

I think that what happens is that you get in a rush to get something out and only much later do you notice the missing words and the creative spellings. The rush is enhanced when Blogger is taking its own sweet time to paint a screen or do an update.
