Also, if I see a mistake (orthographical or grammar) in one of my posts, I go straight and edit it, I can't stand seeing it. Also happens when I send an e-mail, I usually spot a minor error when I'm sending it (another obsession, I ALWAYS send my messages in Thunderbird with Ctrl+Enter) I'll cancel the sending and correct it

You mispunctuated. There is supposed to be a period at the end of the second set of parantheses indicating the end of the sentence.

 

 

You're right. I'll fix it

Oh tut tut.

First, let's get rid of the parantheses and isolate the sentence for easier correcting.

First thing's first, there needs to be a period at the end of the sentence.

Also, the second comma is inappropriate since the sentence doesn't contain a subordinator or a conjuction. Add either one.

 

I said that I fix my errors, but I also abide by my own rules. I don't like final periods. Therefore I don't put them. And it doesn't bother me. And about the sentence, is it now fine?
