Posting and Proofing

I’m a horrible speller and I’ve been known to string together some pretty lumpy structures and call them sentences. I also have a problem with some homophones. (Not to mention the excessive use of commas, dashes, and parenthesis – case in point.) Basically, I’m a mess.

I use MS Word to compose and proof my posts and then I just cut & paste it to the movabletype input screens as I assume most bloggers do. But no matter how thoroughly I proof-read a post, I always find the errors after I've saved in publish status. Why? Is it a mind set issue? Am I just an idiot? Does anyone have any suggestions?

And for some unexplainable reason, the preview screen in mt is useless to me.

Yeah I get that as well. I think it's something to do with the typeface being too small. And I generally end yup re posting important stuff about 6 times with new corrections.
