some very good points from Julian and Adonay - i would just like again
to underline that those are points that are very reasonable for fully
published public documents - but in the context of an instant messenger
such as ring this is not the case - your messages will be seen once and
only once usually by one single person and then never to be seen again

if you sent an erroneous message then like it or not, that person has
seen the error already - that person watched you send the erroneous
message then they watched as you erased the erroneous message then they
watched as you re-sent what was substantially the exact same message as
that they had just read but perhaps with a minor typo corrected - i do
not see the point in that - you are not making yourself appear to be
more eloquent by correcting a error that was fully witnessed by the one
and only person it was intended for - you are just wasting that person's
time

if the concern is that typos are unprofessional then i would agree but
the real reason that typos are unprofessional is because all chat is
unprofessional - if this is an important professional communication then
plug in your webcam and mic and have a proper person-to-person talk - or
meet that person for a coffee downtown - or have your secretary write
them a formal letter on your company letterhead and snail-mail it to
them - in which case it is perfectly reasonable to take the extra time
correcting grammar/spelling errors

chat is informal by it's very nature - so any conscious thought about it
is probably over-thinking it
