a lot of the mistakes I see are auto correct, with spelling errors anyway.

The common mistakes make us all look stupid. We're supposed to be smarter than the RATs.

An edit feature would be nice.

There is one, it's called "preview"...right below the text box.

I agree about the preview, and it works just fine if I’m on the computer.

The phone is another story. I try not to use the phone for posting in a forum but sometimes I do.

My computer never changes what I write. The auto correct on my phone does.

And you know that the edit I am talking about is a way to change something after the fact, right? I have posted from my phone a few times and when I read it the next day on the computer, I see what I messed up even after previewing. If you can’t see it, you can’t see it. THAT edit button would be nice.

Autocorrect will not find the improper use of an ellipsis, though.
