minus-squareMelonYellowlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up17·edit-28 months agoYes! I stopped caring about the edited mark. Why should everything be perfect at the first post? I edit for grammar all the time, fix my phrasing, edit for better flow, add things I forgot to mention, etc.
minus-squareSnot Flickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·edit-28 months agoI’d rather edit to fix my own mistakes than stand firm on making a mistake and thinking it was important to keep the mistake or something. The typos/mistakes absolutely detract from any points you’re trying to make.
