Dear Berislav, I didn't know anything about this question, but, as I'm already in the nitpickers club
, I will try to answer your question from my personal point of view!
I think you start from a false premise.
Who does say to you that errors are present in our english because we do not reread our posts?
If you have a poor knowledge of a language, you can reread your post 10 times, and many errors will still be there.
If you don't believe me, I'll write a simple phrase in chinese, and ask you to reread this phrase 10 times to find errors...
I could reread my posts many times, and they will surely still contain some errors...
Second important point (preventing a possible objection). We could theoretically reread our posts 100 times, maybe also with the help of google translators and/or the help of a mother language friend...
But, at this point, considering the fact that forums should be a pleasure and not a work, why this huge work? If it so... I prefer to give up and simply go walking...
With symphaty and, as always, no polemical intentions...
P.S. I've reread my post two times: I understand there is better english, but I'm not able to write better than this...believe me...
