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?

As others have mentioned, I pride myself on proper grammar and spelling. After all, we are not animals, right? Occasionally, one slips by me when using the iOS version of RP (especially when using talk-to-text) and it's like experiencing an OCD mental attack that I can't correct it until I get back to a computer.....to the point that I find myself memorizing posts I want to comment on rather than doing it at the moment on iOS.

My computer automatically conducts spell check as I type. Too bad it doesn't conduct grammar check as well.
I could just cut and paste from Microsoft word.........

I'm pretty sure Mr Gates invented spell check because of me. I use spell check on everything I can.

I generally don't need to include an additional spell check since I review my posts while I write them COL Mikel J. Burroughs. I use Google Chrome which has a built in spell checker- I have had to add numerous military and geographical words to that dictionary :-)

LTC Stephen F. I use all kinds of things, but I still miss some as you know - It is what it is!

SrA (Join to see), yes I can see your point. However, in my defense when I say "educated" it is in the form of having a rudimentary grasp on the English language to include proper spelling and grammar. :)

That is funny. I'm not NAVY yet..... But plan on re-submitting next march when I can re-apply... Its a huge issue that I am trying to get cleared up so that I can Enlist again. But with the break in service I can re-enlist onto that Active side of the house.

My computer does it automatically, what people need to learn is word selection. If it's a real word, spell check won't correct it. The biggest abuse is there, their, and they're.

Your absolutely correct SSgt Jones. I'm guilty of making that mistake as well.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs - Yes sir. I have a time trying to put into words that my brain runs through. Then saying what or typing what I think when it goes so fast. I just act faster than I can say or type most of the time. It is easier for me.

"It's not just what you say, but how you say it."
I absolutely believe this to be true. someone could put up a quality post but if there are typos and grammatical errors I am going to think less of the person who put it up.
Here on the internet there's no body language to read or tone to listen to, it's just words, and what you put out there is how people are going to judge you, fair or not, so I always work hard to present myself well.
