What would your life be like without auto correct?

So, I was looking at my previous posts, and I noticed quite a few issues spelling wise... Anyway, so it started to ask my self a question: what would my life be like without spell check. I thought about it for quite a long time, and I came to the conclusion that spell check, has helped me greatly whether it be finishing that all important assignment or just checking my posts on ATAR notes, spell check has saved my ars* so many times. What do you think of spell check, and in what instances has it really saved your ars*

Well, there will be a whole lot of 'teh', 'eht' and 'eth' and more opportunities for my friends to make fun of my typing :'(

EDIT: At least I wouldn't have to always change the Autocorrect/Spellcheck settings from American to Australian

It would be without moments like this (especially when I text in a rush).

I expect everyone to be able to read through all my typos.  ;)

At the start when I was a twelvie and using abbreviations endlessly it was just frustrating.

Now that I mostly prefer talking normally, it's actually saved me. My phone typing speed is only around half of my keyboard typing speed but without it there'd be even bigger problems

What's up with the duck jokes, they're obviously an inside joke...

I have a slight suspicion auto correct is slowly but steadily making my spelling worse. If I spell something wrong, I will never realise I did because it gets corrected. Therefore ending up with the wrong habit . Just a suspicion :P
