Are you able to overlook spelling/grammitcal errors after the edit window has closed?

Asked by prolificus (6583points) March 13th, 2010 from iPhone

Unless you’re perfect, I’m sure a minor spelling and/or grammatical error has slipped your attention. Maybe you’re a perfectionist like me and will draft some questions in Word for the added benefit of spell check.

Let’s say you are a perfectionist, you have checked your work prior to hitting the submit button, and you’ve rechecked and possibly made some edits within the allotted time frame.

Then, after several responses received, you notice an error. By the time you notice, it’s too late to fix without flagging the question.

Do you go through the trouble of flagging the question, knowing that the turn around to having it back online can vary and feel to take forever sometimes?  Or, do you ignore the error and hope no one else sees it?  Or, do you think obsessively about it without taking any corrective action?

Obviously such things are not a big deal to many, so please enjoy expressing your snarky comments.  For the rest of us perfectionists, are you able to overlook your errors?  Do you wish you could correct the errors of other Flutherites?
