Yes! 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.

Yes.

Edit: grammar

Pwobably

I'm so OCD that I once edited a comment from months before. Someone replied and I noticed I had typed its instead of it's and I just could not let that stay.

Almost always, yes. Hell, I go back and edit stuff just to make it clearer or flow better, even if there are no typos or grammar issues.

One time, a particularly miserable individual on here told me that I shouldn't make typos, if I'm going to post a controversial comment.

Nevermind that my comment was supposed to be friendly banter, but obviously, they didn't actually care about that. They just needed to put someone down, so they could feel better about themselves.

But yeah, that really made me want to leave spelling mistakes in every comment I post. Unfortunately, I'm actually extremely anal about spelling, myself...

Yes. I look stupid enough as it is, I don't want to seem illiterate as well.

Only if the typo doesn't make it funnier.

Yes. What’s wrong with the edited flag?

Yes, often with a reason, but almost never if it changes the context of my original post. If that happens, I'll simply append my original post.

But I mostly edit to correct mistyped words (autocorrect) or grammar.

Oh, absolutly! I wood never leaf a mistake unattend. It's like leaving your zipper down – you've gotta zip it up before too many peephol notice! So, I'd scurry over to the edit botton faster than a squirel with a nuts.

I always do that, but only if I have the option to edit it. If I don't, then maybe I delete my comment and start over, or maybe I don't.

Yes. Sometimes I even update my thinking. Never try to leave a commenter hanging out to dry, though, so if I am quoted, or if anything I say is in response to a comment, or I make changes that I think might be relevant to a comment, I always actively call them out as edits.

As for grammar and spelling, Mrs. Mayo from Honors Freshman English would not be pleased if I didn't have subject-verb agreement, though I have decided I will not be afraid to boldly split infinitives or leave prepositions at the ends of sentences for anyone I'm talking to. This isn't Latin.

YES

It’s not a trial transcript, it’s a public discussion. Most people reading it care more about the subject matter than about the commenters, and I try to write and edit comments with that in mind. I’ll edit for spelling, clarity, further information, etc.—anything that might be helpful for anyone reading. The only edits I generally refrain from are ones that affect the context of replies others have already made.

Usually only if it changes the comment in a way that makes it less understandable. If it's a simple grammar mistake, but doesn't change the message, I just leave it.

Every time.

No.

Depends if it gets my point acrossed if it doesn't I edit it. If it does I don't fuckin care. Point of language is to get meaning across not being absolutely perfect with grammar and punctuation.

Yes

Yes. I'll edit on the sly.

I do unless it's been more than an hour.

The only exception is if it is in some kind of discussion with someone who's sounding a little hostile.
