I am a spelling perfectionist too but oddly enough I'm starting to notice I don't respect people who write perfect messages as much as those who let an occasional error through. Maybe it's because I know they waste time, or that they are not confident enough to skip the editing - and related, that they are probably low on the totem pole. It's a weird effect, and yet I still can't bring myself not to overedit.

Oh also we need kill thompson’s party. I mean we need kale for the party. Damned apple watch” You can either abandon the whole message, or repeat what you said to get it right. And include a disclaimer to show you didn’t mean the insane thing Siri wrote. On long messages it can get quite annoying to start over, as I find it hard to finish a long message without at least one oddly mangles phrase.
