How many RP members are using some type of spell check before they post a comment?

Unfortunately I'm terrible at spelling and I want to make sure when I respond or make comments on RP that I present them in the best possible fashion.
I'm just curious on how many RP members out there take the same time and effort to make sure they have a quality post and how many just could care less?

Spellchecker/autocorrect messes with my comments. A single typo in a book drives me crazy. I consider myself a superior speller and grammar expert thanks to a nun several decades ago.

Staff writing taught me how to check for errors. Pen and paper is a good way to ensure you reduce errors. Have someone red pen your work if possible.
When I type I always spell as I type. I tend to pick up 99% of the errors.
Grammar is sometimes more difficult.

I type my responses in Notepad, then paste into word...silly but I like typing in Notepad more than word (even done college papers this way!) and spellcheck. But I use chrome so sometimes it does it too.

I have spell check turn on but if your not careful when you spell a word it will change it on you.

SSG Leo Bell Happens all the time - I end up going back over it again. I've gotten lazy and a few words have come out wrong on RP. I usually go back and correct them when I see them - just a habit!

I'm a pretty big perfectionist, so most times I read and re-read emails or messages before sending them haha
