You know what I really like about the edit function?

[man4allcats]

You only have to look like an idiot once. After that, you can edit that post for up to an hour, and it will still only show One Red edit text. :D

Oops! See what I mean?

Recent edit: With apologies to TK421 - :D

1. I never knew how long we had to edit posts.

It would be nice though if they eliminated the red edit text or at least moved it to the bottom of the text box.

[From The Ashes]

2. I know I'd feel...

...less of a dumbass if they'd at least move the red text to the bottom...of course I could just stop making grammatical errors. :shrug:

Nah, too easy. :P

[man4allcats]

4. You could stop?

I wish I could! :7

[Wapsie B]

8. Yeah me too.......

I hate hitting the post button then realizing I made a grammatical error so glaring I just have to edit the post. Doh!

:P

[uppityperson]

3. you can post, wait for answers, change your OP and make others look silly too

Works fun with polls, change the answers around a couple times.

Misery does love company! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

10. I don't know what you mean...I saw what you typed originally

:shrug:



































just fucking with you..yeah, it's a great feature

[man4allcats]

14. But, have you seen it now?

;-)

[Tian Zhuangzhuang]

11. If we could only eliminate their/there/they're and my misspelling thier

from the english language I would probably never use it unless I was talking about having dessert in the desert.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

12. Edit is your friend!

I hate the dumbassed typos...

And of course it doesn't help that my spelling is pathetic

[Kutjara]

13. Hmmm, so I could start a thread...

...saying something like "Everyone who agrees Nelson Mandela rocks, please sound off!" and then, after a sufficient number of people have posted supportive replies, change it to "Represent if you think Hitler's da bomb," thereby luring everyone into a cunning trap.

Hmmm.



Edited because I can.

[man4allcats]

15. As Gilligan has noted above

"Edit is your friend!" You can do any damn thing you want - kind of like if you were George Dubya Bush and Nancy Pelosi was Speaker of The House. :7

[Kutjara]

16. Yeeeeessss. My mind is awhirl with the potential.

Plans and schemes are bubbling in my brain.

[MiniMandaRuth]

17. TK421, why aren't you at your post?

TK421, do you copy?








(Sorry, weird little reference there. And if anyone gets it, I'm buying them a beer on my 21st birthday)

[man4allcats]

18. I was intrigued so

I just had to Google it. However, since I didn't actually "get it" initially, no need to concern yourself with the beer. I'll just drink one now and think of you.

B-)

[DarkTirade]

21. I not only get it, but I've used that one already.

As I'm sure a few other geeks on this board have. :P

Oddly enough, my mp3 player just happened to cycle through the original Star Wars soundtrack right when I got to this post...

[DarkTirade]

19. Oh, I never edit stuff.

Ever.

[man4allcats]

20. I cut the erasers off all my pencils long ago.

It's not like I'll ever need them, right? Yeah, right. ;-)

[Skittles]

22. OMG I remember when it wasn't like that

first on DU you could not edit at all, then it showed red every time you edited, definitely at times making one look completely moronic. Amazing how DU has evolved - yes.
