    in life, if you skip your problems thinking its a good idea to come back to them, the worse part is that you could have fixed it when you noticed it! always fix your errors as early as possible!

    As I am typing it. I may skip over one or two during proofreading.

    But I proofread anyway.

    I always do it when I see them.  You can miss many errors by going back later because we tend to "read" what we expect to see.

    I fix them on the fly. I’m a beast on the keyboard.

    If I see a big enough issue I will fix it then, but I will always go back and read through the whole document before finalizing as I find that is the best way for me to catch any mistakes and make any alterations.

    I make corrections as they are notified, then check and edit the whole document again before sending it.

    I do both. I make corrections as I go, but I notice more after I create the document, so those have to be fixed after.
