hmmm... Well, alright then. From here on out, I will make certain to pre-write each of my idkfa posts in Word and copy/paste them here to prevent mistakes...

I guess in my mind, a forum limited to friends who know me ought to be a place where I should feel comfortable to make mistakes without being judged, but I'll reassess that now and just approach this means of communication as I do communication with basically all my other friends groups.

As for the "Preview" button... I – like everyone here – am not incapable of proof reading my writing. However, I spend seemingly endless amounts of time editing and rewriting things that matter for work or school or otherwise. So, when I come on idkfa (or facebook, or any other online sources I use for mental breaks) I don't really intend to spend a lot of time writing long eloquent editorials; I usually just come to take a few minutes away from thinking about whatever I'm doing at the moment and interact in a fun way with friends. But I guess the "Preview" button is more important to others than it is to me, so I'll keep that in mind.

As for your family member who fell victim to your comments, I can't really say I would have felt differently about that. Especially if it is a person who doesn't make those types of mistakes frequently, I would understand that type of reaction.
