In general so that what you write is not mutilated by software that doesn't know the words you use. If there are typos, it's not difficult for the receiver to "autocorrect" while reading, but when autocorrect miscorrects, it's not easy for the writer to notice how the message changed nor for the reader to guess what was there before the "fixes".
- kayodelycaon 3y agoThat assumes your typing and spelling accuracy is high and the other person reading has significant proficiency in your language. My typing and spelling accuracy is horrendous to the point I use autocorrect on my laptop. For me, it’s an important accessibility feature. I also use dictation for single words.
- tuukkah 3y agoNormal spellcheck still exists, highlights typos and lets you pick from suggested fixes. Anyway, I'm not saying you shouldn't use whatever works best for you but one size doesn't fit all.
