Do you ever itch to correct a misspelling in a thread title?

There's one that's driving me nuts right now - something about Scientists ConcluSe that dinosaurs were wiped out by an asteroid. I think I'll have to thumb it down just so I don't go crazy.

There oughtta be a way to correct those!

@Mame,
The "s" is next to the "d" on the keyboard. Once, I myself had a typo in one of my own thread titles. Luckily no one had responded to my initial post and I was able to delete that post and thus the entire thread. I then started the thread over again.

@Green Witch,
I can't believe you've ever had a misspelling, GW!! No way!

My 3 yr old granddaughter told her 1 yr old sister today that she was going to have a time out because she wasn't listening Smile

@Mame,
More like a malaprop. The built in spelling feature keeps my typing tidy.

@Mame,
Yes! And the very worst part is that I can and have to stop myself from such abuse of powers! But that thread just sits there mocking me and daring me to do something about it.

This takes every bit of restraint I can muster.

@dlowan,
I used to do that in able2know's first months. Learned right quick that some people felt more strongly about not having their posts edited than the typos.

@dlowan,
Jest leave it be, Robert. How can you respect someone that only knows one way to spell a word?

Sometimes, when I make one of my many spelling errors, I leave it in there if I know Mame is reading the thread.

Seriously.

@Mame,
Oh god all the time.

The ether is roiling with the various spelling corrections I've typed out and then thought better of posting. 'Cause I know it doesn't matter. But it bothers me.

I know!!! I was pretending to be your evil daemon.

And I still wish you'd fall to temptation.
