Proofreading and editing is a necessary part of writing. And there’s never enough.

… noticied …

I have a habit of editing my comments 10 seconds after writing them, too

When I write important work-related emails, after I’ve finished writing I leave it open without hitting send, then go make myself a coffee or something completely unrelated to clear my head.

When I return, I re-read what I wrote and often find things that were written ambiguously, incorrectly, or outright weirdly. And with a myriad of spelling and grammar mistakes. Often I find that I forgot to include important points or information.

This gives me an opportunity to proofread before hitting send with semi-fresh eyes.

On lemmy, on the other hand, I find myself editing my own comment right after posting.

Proof read it backwards, one sentence at a time. When you read it forwards, your brain already knows what should be there, so it skips over a lot.

Also, just use a word processor to write it, and let it do the grunt work of spelling and grammar checking for you.
