I don't know what brought this question into my head but it's something I'm genuinely curious about now. How often do you preview your text before posting it? I've gotten into the habit of previewing the majority of my posts, largely because I spend a lot of my time here via mobile browser, and autocorrect can be a cruel mistress. I really can't stand typos in my posts, being a stickler for good grammar, so it's just something that's become a habit more or less every time I post now. There are some cases where I don't, but that's usually for very short posts that don't really need any proof-reading. Sure, the edit button exists for a reason, but I like to avoid it whenever possible.

Pretty much what the above people said. I also preview it when I add an image.
I'm the same, but I use a laptop and sometimes the keys don't respond, even if I hit it hard. Also, there's autocorrect on my laptop...
I don't bother on Pok?Heroes though because I know that we're all friends and as long as I keep it kid friendly, it doesn't matter what I write, whereas here I couldn't make a post saying 'yo i leik cheez'. Bell tree is my partially serious place and Pok?Heroes is my 'yo' place.
Anyway, the point is, yes, here I do, but not everywhere. Usually if the grammar, spelling, ect. is incorrect, I'll delete everything that I posted, and not just on the forums. Obviously on text messages, I can't stop someone seeing my mistake without getting to their phone before they do, so I'll just use a * to correct it.

It would be embarrassing if you used the wrong image...

I don't think I've ever used the wrong image but I think once I used to the same image twice.
I just post edit if I mess up on something
