I don't use autocorrect, and I'm almost obsessive about proofreading and editing after the fact. I do use the portion of the software that shows me a squiggly red line under any of my typed entries that the software does not recognize as proper words, but I'm free to post those alleged non-words anyway. Usually I look them over, if not before posting, then afterwards. If I'm able to edit within 5 minutes, the post does not show as "edited", but if it's over 5 minutes, then the post will show that I've edited it.
I don't understand why people use a separate post to make a correction rather than simply editing the original post, unless someone has already quoted the errant text. The same bewilderment on my part applies to Facebook posts too.
Don't mean to get down on others. I'm blessed with exceptionally good spelling and writing abilities, and if I insisted that everyone be as good I'd be spending even more time talking to no one but myself. Additionally, I know from experience that, as much as I'd like it to be, spelling ability is not directly related to intelligence.
Geez, Matt, even if you're an uneducated boob (which I know you're not), you're OUR uneducated boob.
