I always go back and fix it if I can.
-
I go back and edit the answer and then comment on it if someone already has responsed to my mistake or something.
-
Go back and fix it, if it's fixable. If fixing it changes my answer (eg, if I read the question wrong the first time), I will write "EDIT:" and then make my changes, or write it in a comment.
-
It depends. If my message gets across correctly, then I'll tend to leave it be. However, if someone misinterprets the answer, and is offended, I will add a comment to try and clarify, or fix it.
-
I usally try to fix my mistakes. I don't like the way it looks and want to make things as easy to read as possible.
