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?

I tend not to use spell check on here since my phone has auto-correct for all things typed. However, if spelling is important to you, one method I would recommend (and have used during my writing career) is Microsoft Word. You can type your posts or comments on there with the benefit of having the program spell check your work and after it's all said and done, copy and paste.

It's also beneficial to check capitalization, punctuation, and word usage (sometimes vs. sometime). ;-D

I am terrible too... NJ Public Education COL Mikel J. Burroughs. I usually proof read, but it is hard in that little box, and then one I post I read again and edit as needed. Spell Check in here would be better... so would bigger boxes; so, you can see the whole post.

I tend to be proficient at spelling. It is the grammar that sometimes gets me.

When I'm using my phone or iPad I do, just in case it turns a word I meant into some random jumble that I could never conceive. When I'm using my laptop, I don't need to because I can just watch exactly what I type as I'm typing it.
On rare occasions I do come across words I don't fully grasp, or I want to use words I love but have never seen written before, so I Google them for the correct spellings.
