Always, before and after the Submit button. I try to fix missed mistakes ASAP.

I proofread in the sense I skim. Just like I skim my RSS feeds in the morning. I don't read it like my final term paper or anything where I'm making a real effort to fix any mistakes. However, I feel for the most part my postings are understandable and not filled with nonsense

I'll attempt to proofread my post, but often I'll still find errors in it after I hit the submit button. I guess that's why most of my posts are edited :(

Your underlined red words mean nussing! If I can type nef and it be considered an error, then spell-check is fail.

I spellcheck, but only proofread after I hit the post button. I like sticking my foot in my mouth. :thumbsup:

Yes, I proof read emails, texts, and internet posts. I also use complete sentences and punctuation in all of the above.

This. I also try to avoid contractions (just like at work).

I will generally use 'preview' before hitting 'reply to topic'. It is amazing what I can catch in preview that, for some reason, I do not see in the reply window.
