This is common among posters of the forum. People hardly follow their post. I'm inclusive in this and this isn't a nice idea. Post is to teach people and for the poster also to learn. Not following one post may not pass good meaning to the viewers. Let's try to follow up our post so that if questions arise from this post, one can easily answer them.

I don't think is really bad not to follow your post, the bad thing is not following it up incase you're being quoted, you might have something to contribute, the thing is you sometimes don't find the time to go back and check on your post if there is any error.
And to me following up post only have to happen if someone quote your reply, but if you're going back to correct any error then it won't be valid. If you edit it and you've been quoted the error can't go off, is best to correct it before posting.

You are right that one should cultivate the habit of replying what so ever you post especially when you are been quoted. This will really help anyone following the post. Cross checking post before posting is also important as said earlier for enable at least 98% error free post.

Wrong spellings, grammatical errors and wrong punctuations can utter the message we are trying to pass across. Most of us here only adopted English language as a second language.
We are not perfect.

In other to be perfect some people intend to make use of AI to make everything better and perfect, is not really encouraged and if some members continue using AI they won't improve in there grammar and spellings.
Sometimes the messages you sending across can be misunderstood by the reader not because you made any grammatical error but they read it wrongly and had that different understanding to what you said, and it will make you feel like you went wrong somewhere. That's to say that errors doesn't only occur from the writer but also the reader too.

In order not to utter the meaning we had in mind, we must preview, read again and again, then post! We should not forget to follow up our posts. You might come back to read the post you made 5 mins ago and spot an error. Especially for us that our mother language tend to interfer with our grammar. Fortunately, there is an 'edit' option. You still have another chance to correct the mistake(s) you made earlier.

You can preview your post 100times and sometimes you won't be able to get that error you're looking for, it would be later on when you've finished posting maybe some hours later that's when you see that error you were looking for.
Posting has to do with the mind too because you can say you typing "I'll be waiting for you" but when posting you'd noticed that you typed "I'll waiting for you" shit like that happens all the time.

Mistake is inevitable, if there is no mistake there is no correction, that is, people make mistake and through the mistake, corrections are made. Most users submit their post without cross checking the write up. So in many times omissions occurred and some ungrammatical statement occurred and English speaking users see them as trash, shit post without correction. It is better you reread you work before posting to avoid mistake. Be a good poster. Avoid mistake. But mistake is inevitable. It most come but not always.

OP I like the fact you said mistakes are inevitable but you should also remember that not everyone here is perfect in writing and not all are from good English speaking countries. I see in your post you made some errors as well in your grammatical functions, use of commas and full stop. Don't get me wrong am not saying am good as well.

Since post here are mostly for the public, reading it all over again is highly appreciated, so that you can avoid shit posting. At least spelling errors should be checked, the main idea/message that your trying to convey should be prioritize at least in the first-two lines. So that the reader would get the message early and would enjoy reading the topic if he finds it interesting and worth engaging. For those using their mobile phones to post on the forum, they should avoid some spelling error tools. Most times it does correct the word to the wrong desired word. That is why everyone advised its best you preview before posting.

I make many mistakes when I write, and most of the time, I get help from some tools that help me improve my writing. The one tool I use is Grammarly. Grammarly always points out spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and many more things. It's helping me improve my writing skills. So, when I write without Grammarly, sometimes I write trash. It happens when I write from my mobile device. Your suggestion is good for others, for me too. But, since I am using a tool to improve my writing, I usually do not double-check what I have written. Because I believe the tool will find the mistake for me.

Excellent advice! It's a good idea to preview your work before submitting it since typing mistakes might happen, and your mind may believe that what you're doing is correct, but once you post it, you realize that you made some mistakes. It is prudent to double-check anything your writing or typing before submitting it. The most common cause of errors is when you type so quickly that you want to deliver your post as soon as possible.

I observed most forum users access the forum and make post using phone. When typing with phone and the phone is in dictionary mode, it guess and change typed words easily. During the process, words typed may be changed without the you knowing about it.

Yes honestly, I'd say that 80% of people prefer to publish on their phone because they're used to it. This error is unavoidable even if the phone is not in dictionary mode. It will undoubtedly come at some point. The only way to avoid errors, is to preview your work once you complete typing and read it fully before posting.

No one like to type slow and i even use it to improve my typing speed so every time i am typing I always want to be as fast as i can and since it’s normal to make typing errors i make use of the preview button to make sure i correct any mistakes.

Do you have good knowledge then idea of your post to join a discussion is important than your typing speed. Because if you don't have knowledge, no idea, you will only make non sense posts and be a professional spammer with high typing speed.

Many years ago, I used this software KP Typing Tutor when I was learning typing on PC. I still have good impression about it, simple, neat and very useful for learning with mini games to improve your typing speed.

Getting to preview your post write up before posting it cannot make you dictate your spelling error. I feel the preview button is more important when adding other tags (code, links, image etc) asides from just normal write up in order to get an actual glimpse of how your post will be when published.
The more reason and cause of the spelling errors should be the autocorrect function enabled in phones and also when users are typing too fast than the little the brain can give out at a time can also cause it.

I have been able to dictate and prevented spelling errors in my post while previewing it and i am now more used to the preview because of this, I always make sure i read my post to the end before posting it. The preview is also important when adding tags, smileys and links as you mentioned but all the same, the preview helps us to prevent any kind of mistake before publishing it.

No one like to type slow and i even use it to improve my typing speed so every time i am typing I always want to be as fast as i can and since it’s normal to make typing errors i make use of the preview button to make sure i correct any mistakes.

Mutual understanding helps information on a long run, so it is paramount to give attention to reviewing and appropriate use of punctuation marks. What is the essence of a post that has lost its meaning, it will be nothing but shit post that generate confusion argument on the forum. That been said, it is also important for readers or viewers to patiently go through a post before commenting. There are people who love to comment even when they do not understand the discussion then pushing the blame on the poster.

I can be obsessive compulsive so sometimes when people misunderstand a statement I made it will bother me for an unreasonable amount of time. Even when you are thorough and proofread before clicking the post button mistakes will still happen. It can be difficult to convey a message clearly when communicating through written words only. It is important to revise our words but we also must accept that we are not perfect and mistakes will be made.

Mistakes are to be made that's why we learn everyday to correct our mistakes and if we don't make mistakes then we're as perfect as God, so making errors in making post is really hard to avoid unless you engage yourself in the use of AI.
That's another reason why some users make use of AI just to be perfect, being too good and letting others see them as one of the best posters in the Forum.
I prefer being me, making mistakes and learning on how to encounter that mistake in case of next time other than going outside the rules of the Forum. The thing is we make mistakes (not deliberately) to learn from it.

Yes you're right, if a user uses a smartphone to make a post, maybe it will also affect the posts they make, such as being a bit messy in format and errors in grammar because of the limited view on a smartphone. It's different when we do it on a computer or laptop, so it's more flexible than viewpoints and easy to type, edit and check back on our posts.
Then one of the other inhibiting factors is that these users are not people who usually use English as their dominant or main language. They only rely on google translate to translate from their local language and sometimes the translation is a bit messy and doesn't fit.
And rush is also one of the problems that can make the posts we provide not conveyed properly. If it turns out that our post has something wrong, then we can still edit it, but as long as we don't always making mistakes that's normal.
One more thing, if there is someone who tries to remind us to correct our mistakes, we should not think that they are hostile to us, but think that it is a criticism that we receive.

One of the problems people often have especially those of us who post, is the habit of trying to finish the post as fast as possible to deliver quickly and get rewarded, I understand the urge to deliver on the post when tasked to do so especially when you get something in return. I think every one of us must invest as much time as needed into our creating process to make sure we create posts with high quality. You can get a feeling of accomplishment whenever you make a post and you see people liking your post and getting merit on what you have posted.

Do you even cross- check this your post before posting. There is also a little error in the post "It is better you reread
you work before posting to avoid mistake" You posted "You" instead of "YOUR".

I completely agree with your opinion OP. Looking back and re-reading the writing that will be posted is indeed something that is very important and must be done. Because often in the middle of writing, sometimes there are inappropriate words or wrong words, which will change the contents of the meaning of the writing. So therefore, it is very important to press the preview button first before pressing the post button. Because if you are not careful and thorough, you are afraid that there will be wrong words, then the meaning of the writing will be different/wrong and it could be a misunderstanding for other members who read the post.
Because in this btt forum, as much as possible the quality of the language and the method of delivery must be neatly arranged. I have also been in this forum for quite a while, still learning to be able to organize the language in my posts, so that other members can more easily digest them and make them easier to read.
So basically, don't be too lazy to re-read the writing that will be posted. Because doing so, it doesn't take much time, at most it's only a few minutes. Even though it looks trivial, doing habits like this is a very important thing for all members in this btt forum.

Yeah. It is unprofessional to write and post without proofreading your write-up. Just as you have said, sometimes it might be a typo error, and going back to read, will save you a lot of embarrassment.

It is good one take a little time to read their works before posting it in other to avoid mistakes. Rereading your write up sometimes gives you more ideas and a clear view of what you are really talking about when it comes to matters of discussion on this platform and other engagements as well. I have had to this experience where I read my post before posting it and in the course of reading it, more ideas come in and I continue writing to add more views about the subject matter.

In as much as this is a global platform, there are lots of non English speaking nationals here which I believe are trying their best to flow with the activities making contributions and engaging in other activities here to be relevant on this platform so I expect not everyone would definitely write or speak good English. Most of them are trying and are also improving in their grammatical expression and engagements. So OP no one is above mistakes but I still understand your point and the need for one to cross check their write up before posting and as time goes by the non English speaking nationals would adapt and learn together with those new to the platform.

To a large extent, I agree with you but there are few things you should take note. There is are many forum members who are not from England speaking countries, so their use of England language can only be limited to what they can write, hence the message is passed successfully, we shouldn't crucify the messenger but take the message.
We are all humans, we are bound to make mistakes.
I've seen a lot of post from some forum members that are not from England speaking countries or are still learning how to write in English, once I see them, I noticed one or two grammatical errors but I still understood the message passed and I make my contribution.
