There are many people who don't bother to correct grammar and spelling after typing a message, publishing content, etc. Grant it you won't find Spell Check everywhere, but when the tool is right there, all you have to do is click, do you use it? Do you think it matters? Personally, I don't think anything should be posted/published without checking for errors. Simple mistakes are easily caught by readers. Often people can form an opinion about you just by your spelling/grammar skills. Do you agree?

I think online in forums and stuff spelling and grammar don't matter that much. It's easier to read if people have relatively good spelling and grammar, but I think it's a waste of time to do spell check.

I pity the person who can only spell a word one way. (I love when I have the opportunity to quote Twainypants)

I think its just as superficial to judge a person on grammar as it is to judge a person based on looks, atleast on an internet forum. It's just the surface, and you'd be judging a person without really knowing them.

I'm alright with spelling so I don't need spellcheck that often, unless I'm tired or in a hurry then I just make typos. I use spellcheck sometimes but not that often anymore because it now freezes my computer everytime I try to use it. I'd rather make a few errors then have to keep restarting. But honestly if someone is going to be judging me just because of my typos or few grammar errors than I don't really care what they think.

Know no shame.

I spell pretty good anyway. It is easier to read when it's spelled right, but it doesn't bother me that much.

Jaguar girl, are you joking?

I am a pretty good speller, so I don't usually make a mistake. If I do, I don't notice it.

Then I got lazy, and realised half the words I say aren't proper words anyways, so I gave up.

My spelling is just about top-notch, and I'm a little lenient with the spelling mistakes of mine and others anyway--so unless it's a really glaring error, I'll leave it be.
