A Mistake

Hot 2734 views. 2014-9-8 16:54 |Individual Classification:Reflection

I just finished translating a New Yorker article in a text file, and cut and paste it on the editing area of this blog. Everything was perfect until I accidentally pressed "backspace" when the mouse is outside the editing zone. The page turned back at a lightning speed and when I turned it back again, all the words are gone...
I thought, oh, alright, I'm gonna redo the cut and paste thing...wait...cut. I cut the words from the unsaved text file! I used the file for something else after that and now it is not even possible to undo the cut step. I ended up empty handed, after an afternoon's labour.
Well, what can I say. I was being careless.
But if only, if only this site can save editing automatically!
It's unfortunate that  it can't.

.I often make similar mistakes, so I understand your feeling   The best way to deal with it is just type all of the words again as soon as possible. You surely can recall most of the article now,but I'm afraid that you will forget them later

I‘m so not typing it again...no. I've already understood every inch of the article and retranslate it would be a waste of time.
Thank you for caring though, best of luck.

Thank you a lot for the kind words.
I was a bit upset this afternoon, but I'm feeling better now, and have decided to use WPS to write a doc file instead of txt next time...
