I have a slight OCD when it comes to quoting.

If the post I am quoting has a spelling mistake, I will fix it. If there are missing punctuation marks or grammatical errors, I will fix them. I'll even capitalize 'i' if they fail to do so. And lastly, if I feel that the post was poorly formatted or organized, I'll reformat it or change the spacing.

This handicap stems from my side gig, which is proof reading graduate application materials. I have a problem, ATOT.

Sentences don't begin with 'and'. I fixed it for you. I also fixed 'proofreading' for you.

You know, I just realized that I have such a deeply set revulsion for the use of "u" that I didn't even type it in my intentionally poorly written and grammatically incorrect post.

It's two more keystrokes to not sound like a moron, FFS.

Why did you change the post description from present tense to past tense (ie passive)?

Present tense:
1) "If the post...has"
2) "If there are"

Past tense:
1) "if...the post was poorly formatted or organized"

I AssUMe their R dozen mistackes in my post.

Agreed. I know I use passive voice too often.

I section parts of quotes out a lot, I hate seeing a lot of extra junk in quotes when I'm referring only to a specific part.
