I was very alarmed by the idea that people could edit posts on here when I moved from Twitter. So, in my settings, I put on every single alert. An edit is the *only* thing that makes the mastodon app make noise.

I expected to catch wicked subterfuge, chicanery.

But, I hear the alert sound very rarely.

And? I'm always excited to see what spelling error is corrected.

😆

(Darkly: Posts and their corrected versions would be a killer training set for a nice tame spelling LLM)

I suspect most people here are real spelling and grammar geeks and do not want to see their errors left roaming in the wild.

Of course I never make such errors, just typos. I'm a one finger typist so those are frequent.

(When you touch type the errors are less frequent but when they happen it's catastrophic.)

@futurebird I always catch typing errors when someone likes or boosts my toots. Thank you editing gods.
