I would rarely bother to look something up if it was just for myself ... unless its for future reference ... usually when i'm writing or typing its to get an idea out of my head or to get things down on paper before i forget them. If i bothered to check the spelling of every word I didn't know, i'd never get whatever it was written down ...
I do find that I care more when others will be reading my work ....
My worst is punctuation of apostrophe's (sp? fuck it!) ... i can never remember the rules of where they go. Sometimes it bothers me that i can't remember such a simple thing BUT who really cares ... if i'm writing something important, i use a spell check and have someone proof read for me ...
can't
cant
you'd all know what either meant so is it worth the backspacing to fix it?
i'm just lazy really ... which is why i often spell you're 'your' ;-)
