Preview Option

Recommended Posts

I have notice on many of the threads, that users are blaming spelling mistakes etc. on the fact that there is not a preview option.

I make as many mistakes as anybody else, but surely this is because we don't read what we have typed before we post

it.

What difference would a preview option make, you don't get one when you type an email or a letter, and a spell checker only checks the spelling, it doesn't tell you if it's the wrong word.

So there, got that off my chest. Now I'd better read

this to make sure it's OK.

I think their should be a edit button incase you don't see the mistake until you have actually posted the post.
Also editiing will help incase you forget to put something into the thread that could be quite usfull infomation.

Every other forum

I know have a edit button where you can edit your posts.

I was taught that as well. Could it be a 'special' Geordie thing? I was also told not to start and finish sentences with 'And'. It might be acceptable here, though.

I suspect WTD might regret opening this can of worms

I don't see how you can end a sentence with 'and'. Hang on I just did!

You can start a sentence with 'and'. I remember coming across it in the book called Black Beauty.
Took it to school, it was when I was in junior school, to show the teacher.

Not sure what she mumbled under her breath, but it was probably smart something.

That sentence ended with an 'And' quite legitably, didn't it? And so did mine!!! I've got a copy of Black Beauty somewhere - it's going to stay 'somewhere' because I am not going to turn the loft out just to find another sentence beginning with 'And'.

I suggest that your teacher got confused and thought your name was Alec rather than Brian!!

My Year 2,3 and 4 teacher told us never to start a sentence with And or But. I have also found it while reading books and our High School Teachers let us start sentences with and. Not sure about But though.

You are right their,
for some reason I get very confused with homophones, I'm not sure why. I'll try my best to use the correct one.
