I tend to use proper grammar and spelling, unless I am posting from my phone....then, all bets are off.

I avoid having to do it from my phone because of this.

It's also why I edit so many of my posts, because I will miss a typo and end up having to go back and fix it.

But as long as I can understand what the poster was getting at, the autocorrect in my head works fine!
