Nobody gives a fuck about your "Edited: grammar" stop wasting people's mental resources

I ~~ageree~~ agree, I think.

edited: spelling and ~~gtammer~~ grammar (added comma). (plus added punctuation)

It's polite to justify and/or summarise an edit, because many platforms label edited posts and it helps reassure everyone that the conversation they're reading really happened.

There's a big difference between "edit to totally change what was said and make everyone responding to me look like fools or racists" and "edit to correct a typo"

Sure, but you can also just lie. No one lies on the internet.
Edit: grammar
- Sure you can, but there's a lot of etiquette which was originally supposed to signal trustworthiness which liars fake all the time. That doesn't stop it from being considered polite

If seeing "Edited: grammar" wastes your "mental resources" that seems like a you problem.

I think its more like they haven't gotten that much mental resources to begin with
That's why I posted this, Cap

That's good to hear, because I don't usually bother explaining my edits. I do, however, really appreciate it when other people do.

Guess what I do with stuff I don't give a fuck about? I don't pay attention to it.

I can't .
- You can set a word-filter for that phrase and you don't need to see it ever again.

I feel like there is a small portion of people online who care deeply about grammar and its use. I think because they are so vocal about it that there's this false sense that it's immensely important to many people as opposed to like 5 people who get an eye twitch when you use "there" instead of "their.

Edi: obligatory grammar edit in a futile attempt at comedy

You missed a second quotation mark on "their." At the end their to.

I've only ever edited posts to keep going on a point. If my grammar or spelling mistakes are an issue in a conversation, then I'm probably arguing with someone who doesn't deserve my time honestly.

It's a forum. We're not debating at Cambridge. You don't deserve a second draft version only of my point.
