My grammar, my spelling and my coherency (see, I don't even know if that is a word, but dammit, it sounds good to me) go out the window when I’m blogging. I know darn well it should all be popped into Word and grammar/spell checked, read backwards at least twice and then if all has been fixed, publish it. Hah. Not me. I'm an off the cuff kinda blogging chica and since I’m working at the same time one sentence can originate from two trains of thought and come out completely discombobulated.
The point of this short bit of diatribe is this: I do go back and edit them for complete sentences, well thought out sentence structure and paragraphs that fit more than just the basic shape. I don't think I'd want to go back and reread your posts that often, but I would if I knew you were happier with the reworked and edited product.
*sigh* or I can just do the grown up thing and write it all in Word first, edit appropriately and then publish after it's polished. But it might lose some of its goofy charm if I do that.
Heh, I don't know where I'm going with this. I do know that the last two posts sucked for grammar, spelling, and oft repeated phrases and were completely disjointed in several places. I’m fixing them, whether you choose to re-read them or not, I’m fixing them. I blushed at some of those awful errors.
English really is my first language. I swear.
I'm a horrible self editor.

My useless two cents:
I write as it comes and only go back and change stupid stuff... like writing thet rather than the, your rather than you. Piddly things that people would understand, but will drive me nuts if I don't fix it.
and I usually hate punctuation :) me and e.e. cummings
I say "let it roll"
do you remember when 2 cents was a jolly rancher outta the candy bin? *sigh* they aren't worthless, just undervalued usually.
writing on the fly has it's charm -- but I still wonder though. Prolly to be cantankerous more than anything.
thanks meadowlark - and veggies look tasty to me!
I'm from such a tiny place we didn't have a candy bin!
And having a tomato when last night was 34-36 degrees (not sure which part you're in) is practically a miracle!
Haha, well, Cuppa, to me you write really well, I can't even spot any mistakes, honest :)
