Comments

I feel its a combination of "SO awesome. Being able to edit grammatical errors and spelling mistakes make it seem like I suddenly gained 15 IQ points." and "I feel it encourages sloppy thinking, much like the word processor" with an additional "now people can edit their comments so that replies no longer make sense and/or to encourage wank and they can -claim- that they were just editing my spelling." woot.

edit: for spelling. LOL

Actually, I'm pretty sure that you can't edit a comment once someone has replied to it. So that's at least one concern that's not, um, a concern.

Yep. I put those 15 IQ points to good use, didn't I?

My thoughts are a cross between yes to points one, two, three and four, so I picked six.

I don't have a paid account, but I see the merits of 1 & 2. It's the first feature to come along that really makes me want to break down and pay.

What's with this two-tier editing system!? Here we see the violence inherent in the system!!

[lab-brat.livejournal.com]

Spelling and grammatical errors?

Try HTML syntax errors, particularly with the lj-specific tags like [lj user] -- which is NOT hyphenated, while [lj-cut] IS.

Or is that the other way around?

I also have a tendency to try to close [a href] links with [/i], for some reason.

[thebitterguy]

Ohhh, are you being repressed?

Also a very good point. HTML is a harsh mistress.
