I wish the internet had an edit button

I wish the internet had an edit button, I am not saying I am perfect and never make typos or grammar errors. I know I do.
If I double checked my writing I might make less. But honestly when I re-read my work, I find things I want to change and it would take me even longer to post.
However, I wish I could edit other people's work. Again, I'm not perfect and I don't pretend to be. I really don't think I could be an editor but sometimes I see things and I just hurt a bit inside.
I usually refrain from posting in the comments something along the lines of 'can you re-write your first paragraph, there are a few errors that are killing me' or 'oh you're going to do this. But your dog can't be left alone.' But alas I don't want to hurt feelings or be rude and there are no edit buttons.
I am guilty of making the you're and your mistake before, when I'm in a hurry and not thinking. But I really try not to. There, their and they're another one. Saw and seen another example that hurts.
See this post is all over the place, just like my mind.
Don't even get me started on the 'text-lingo'.
I will end this little rant here. I just saw an error that set me off. It was the title of a post and I had to read the post to figure it out what it was about. It was then that I wished there was an edit button. [I bet people read my blogs and wish there was an edit button.]
