Do you take pains to disable the various spell-checkers that exist or do you just use software which does not have them on by default?

- plg 13y agomainly I use plain text editors like sublime text, emacs, etc if I happen to use something with a spell checker I usually don't even notice it, and if I do I turn it off now it's not that I never make typos, or I never make spelling mistakes. These happen all the time. The point is that I correct them when I read, and re-read, edit, and re-edit whatever I am working on (even a "simple" email)... using the spellchecker between my ears It has the desirable side effect that I also am 'forced' to re-read what I've written, and inevitably, I change something, I hope to make it better I think a lot of people have a workflow that goes something like this: - hammer out some text - correct errors in real time based on spell checker flags - at the end, scan the document for spell checker colors; if none, then I am done! I am a huge proponent of reading and re-reading whatever I am writing at least 5 times, and editing/changing as I go. I spot typos and spelling mistakes via this process.
