I wish this psychologist would test FReepers too lazy or entitled to mash ‘Preview’ before posting. For those too self important to show this courtesy to readers, ‘Preview’ includes spellcheck with a red squiggly line underneath misspelled words. I’d bet there would be a high correlation with the shopping cart offenders.

Same with the auto-excerpt option.

Auto-excerpt in most case does not provide the most relevant information.

Often, the excerpt has no relation to the article headline.

One most go to the source link and that’s fine as long as that link to the complete article remains active and available.

Once that link is dead, all FR is left with is a useless excerpt.

I always appreciate it when someone takes the time to snip the most important pieces of the article in their excerpt, thereby allowing it to be continued to be a useful source of information as long as it remains on FR’s server.

My phone auto miscorrects me and after a few tries I give up.
