Do you guys sometimes feel the need to rewrite other people's stuff? Like, you know what their point is but you feel that that point would be much better conveyed if put in a different way and now you want to put it in that way?

I use firefox with inbuilt spell checker...

It's really hard for me to NOT FIX people's spelling mistakes when I quote them.

I just have to leave them alone though because otherwise there's no integrity in the quote.
