Editing function.
November 8, 2011 at 2:25 am
I wrote a quick reply to a post, went in for a few hours for work then came back and noticed I used a wrong word and some spelling.
I didn't even know we had a 120 minute cap on editing posts. Is this new? What's the reasoning behind not being able to edit posts?

OK seems fair. At work I don't have a browser that supports spell check but there I'm constantly posting as I have time. We'll see how it goes. 2 hours does seem reasonable and I guess it's not too much to ask that we do a preview or 2 for such a great community.

There are various online spell checkers, or you could always type your post within a word processor that has one installed.

And even then, reading back what You have written before clicking "Post Reply" is always a good idea.
Eye halve a spelling checker
It came with my pea sea.
It plainly marks four my revue miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a quay and type a word and weight for it to say
Weather eye yam wrong oar write.
It shows me strait a weigh as soon as a mist ache is maid.
It nose bee fore two long and eye can put the error rite.
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it,
I am shore your pleased to no.
Its letter perfect awl the way.
My checker told me sew.
Best regards,

Agreed, I just hate copying out to word then back. Man that little word exercise, hurt my brain... far too early for that much brain work for me.
Glad to see the rumors of your retirement are greatly over exaggerated.
