how to correct typo in title of a new thread - by the o.p

Post by RSR »

I had made a typo in the title for nauka charitham post today.
It does occur inadvertently. I think, I cannot correct the error.
If the O.P of any new thread needs to correct such typo, will it be possible?
Perhaps, it may be stipulated that it should be done within one hour.

I do the same mistake. I realize that is a age old Psychological desire to finish as quickly as possible. I use to eat quickly thinking it is another chore( excepting when my Grand mother cooked). So, I use to get stomach ache etc. But once I had realized, now I eat very slowly. This is important that our eyes see what we want to see and not recognize typos and other errors. That is why they have copy editors and reviewers. Anyway, when I hit the post button, later when I see the mistake, I apologize and post the correction. Readers once understood the message in general, do not save or remember the message unlike the writer.
My suggestion is, just mention the error and the correction rather than thinking that you had committed a grate mistake or error, as the readers are from our extended music loving family.(Also, you will not hear their curses as they mutter to themselves! :)=)
