Only when using quotes, spoilers, or other formatting, otherwise no, which is evident by my many typos.

Sometimes, if I'm making a huge post with lots of embedded stuff in, yeah. I also type with tags, so the preview is a good way to make sure they're all closed properly and the message is formatted correctly.

Only if I'm doing some funky formatting, otherwise I just... re-read what I wrote in the text box.

When I put links to other sites I always preview to check that the links are to the right addresses. Which is probably 30% of my posts.

All of ya that post youtube videos should so you can test whether or not it plays when embedded on era.

If it doesn't, include a link.

Only if I want to post pics or videos or something special(!), other than that, no.

When I'm just posting text, no. When I'm adding quotes and spoilers and otherwise making a post with formatting, yeah usually. Not previewing this one for example and send

Usually I hit preview then I have my mom read it over for her opinion on if it sounds good.

As others have stated, if it's more than two sentences I hit preview, even if the post still only consists of text.
I always proofread and edit what I write however, sometimes multiple times, it's just ingrained in me.

I write my post, I proofread the preview, then I post it and edit it like 500 times.

Mods must be shaking their heads when they decide to read through my edits.

I never do, but probably should. I'm a serial editor fixing typos and adding additional context instead.
