Message bartlebier beers 4526 º places 177 º 16:54 Mon 9/12/2016 I often hammer in a review in a spell, only to find that it contains at least 3 spelling or spacing errors as soon as it comes out published on the other end 2 mins later. Is there another way to correct these mild typoes other than by clicking "Re-rate This"? Just asking because I assume about half my reviews now contain a "Review updated on" and I wouldn’t want to appear a serial revisionist rater...

But for bartlebier’s timezone, the shift is on 9am. Who rates beers at 9am? :P (and I’ve made the experience that for miraculous reasons, even then it doesn’t always work) I have tons of rerates for this and other reasons which were not that I drank the beer twice.

It makes me appear either fickle, flip-flopping and wobbly-spined or an alcoholic with a big enough liver to revisit all of these beers. Whereas I am just a compulsive proofreader striving to be a stylist of English beer diary prose.

Whereas I am just a compulsive proofreader striving to be a stylist of English beer diary prose. I see. Personally, I feel that my opinions have changed quite a bit on what I like/dislike. Whenever reasonably possible, I try to re-rate in order to reflect my most current mindset. An impossible task (to re-rate everything) but one I’d encourage more of to anyone.
Message andrewje41 P beers 7597 º places 142 º 20:40 Mon 9/12/2016 I enjoy reading typo-infused rates. Especially rates with a "hippy" aroma or bottle "pouts"

I do rerate, and when I do I mention the date of the 2nd/3rd sampling to record my chaning palate and/or the changing beer. I re-edit much more often and don’t assume it is interesting information for other RBians how my language sensitivities have developed over time...
