I just re-read a post I'd written a long time ago. I found no less than 4 mistakes in spelling and other errors.
Nothing I can do about it now. It's been read by many readers by this time.
Bummer.
What is the right response now? Do I get all down at myself or learn what I can and dwell on my next post? It sounds like an easy question to answer, but I bet you'd be surprised how often a few mistakes can lead a ministry leader down the path of total discouragement.
How would you react to a post with over 4 mistakes after it was postted?
If I'm honest I would try to fix it...
But I wouldn't be upset. I know my grammar stinks.

Michael, I go back and forth whether or not to go back and fix and repost it. I'm forcing myself to accept things the way they are. Time will tell...
:)

I'd fix it. There is absolutely no way I couldn't. I would probably dream about it. I'm a bit of a grammar/spelling nazi so I have to deal with that.
If I find errors when I read, I'll find a way to email or private message the author to let them know. It's that bad.
