Same here.

Sometimes I misspell the * message.:P

Sometimes. I'm sometimes too lazy to bother.

I use it. Problem is, I don't usually see it until after I've hit enter.

EDIT: Like right now, I didn't notice I left the "l" off "until" until after I clicked Submit.

I seem to be the only one but I rarely bother. :oops: usually it's clear enough that people can tell what it is anyways. and if it's that unclear, ill write the correction in the next line. It'd take forever if I was always correcting myself.

Definitely. I ALWAYS know when I make errors, even if I'm looking the other way.

Which is why I only got 30 WPM on my first Mavis Beacon typing test, because they don't let you use the backspace key on it. ><

I called Cae 'Car' three extra times by using an asterik to correct myself. Look, I even have that saved-

Dawn: Hi Car
Dawn: *Car
Dawn: **Car
Cae: ....
Dawn: ***Car
Dawn: DAMNIT
Cae: Quit calling me a car!

I am the typo queen. I never use backspace because I'm too lazy, and never am quite able to correct things with asteriks the right way. Do I get points for trying, though? :P

I'm always using it. I'm surprised the little black arrow is still there. That's how much it gets used.

Of course I backspace. It never occured to me not to use it in messengers xP Backspace is part of my typing. I can hit it in 0.5 seconds and never register in my mind that I even used it >:]

If i notice a mistake, i'll use it. i usually do. it really annoys me when other people use such blatent mispellings.

Sun Jun 26, 2005 2:24 am

I use backspace, unless I'm so upset/shocked I can't bother, or if I don't see the mistake.

Sun Jun 26, 2005 3:42 am

I usually use the backspace if I notice the error, however, if I don't, and notice it afterwards, I usually go: *(word here) and then: STUPID WORD!

Hehe. :P

Sun Jun 26, 2005 3:49 am

Yeah, usually. Unless I'm really tired, then I can't be bothered and I shouldn't be online anyway.

I think I tried to type the correction 4 times once before I got it right.

Backspace is just second nature to me now. I'm a fast typer (though my friend still has a sulk when I'm typing something long, 'cause he actually has to *gasp* wait!).

I love the backspace as I need it all the time. Too bad when typing in a text area on firefox it doesnt work.
