Editing posts on one’s blog is only funny and/or okay when the person is a spammer. It doesn’t so much work when it’s done to people putting forth real substance.
I actually didn’t say that, and if you are going respond to arguements, perhaps you could respond to arguements made, instead of making arguements up to respond to? Of course, it may be you can’t respond to those actually made, in which case, I understand the temptation.
That should read as follows.
I actually didn’t say that, (sic) and if you are going respond to arguements, (sic) perhaps you could respond to arguements (sic) made, instead of making arguements (sic) up to respond to? (sic) Of course, it may be you can’t respond to those actually made, in which case, (sic) I understand the temptation.
No one minds the occasional typo or spelling error. They happen. I routinely find errors in old posts. (And, in fact, there surely will be one somewhere in this post, no matter how closely I comb over it.) But god damn it. If you’re going to edit someone’s correction, at least also edit what was being corrected in the first place. Language is important.
