Annemehr:

OH, yeah!  One thing that helps is to copy and paste your response 
into a different format.  For my longer posts, I'll paste a copy into 
Notepad and proofread it there.  The change in font, etc., helps the 
typos stand out better (because it seems in your original, your 
brain "sees" what it meant to write instead of what's actually on the 
screen).

Pasting a copy in Notepad is also handy for those times when you're 
composing in webview and then for some reason Yahoo or Windows (those 
devils!) lose your work. ;)

'Course, for short stuff like this, I just fire away and hope for the 
best!
