Question | Site suggestions | Discussion forum

Yeah I saw the same thing on some of my posts last week too. But the titles looked the same. Maybe Peter can explain

I sometimes get these notices too, even though nothing seems to have been changed. Maybe someone doesn't like my punctuation!

I would find such a feature most annoying. I would probably quit this forum, in fact, if it were implemented.

Most of my edits are for the purpose of improving clarity of communication. Occasionally I think it better to eliminate something or add something, upon further reflection. I would like my judgement to stand as an expression of what I want to say, not the entire history of my thought process!
It would most likely lead to more nit-picking., which we surely don't need.

I think we all need to remember that this is a relatively un-nuanced medium. Shades of meaning, intentions, irony, humour, etc., can easily be lost or misinterpreted because there are only words here, and a few emojis, no embodied human beings. I have occasionally had posts deleted because of what seems to me to be over-zealousness on the part of the moderator. I think he doesn't always "get" my sense of humour, which is extremely dry and full of irony. He certainly wouldn't be the first. C'est la vie!

It's hard to believe though, that Peter spends his valuable time editing my grammar and spelling! Good grief!

I have edited this twice so far, for those who like to keep track.
Oops, that's 3 times now!
