No, I don't think they are. I spell check, and proofread what I write because I want it to be correct for me.
i could right in a incoherent stream of consciousness with know punctuation and wrong homophones and bad grammar and run on sentences and no punctuation and people would still be able to peace together what I am trying to say
However,
I don't because I don't like how it looks or reads.

It's nuts.
I also don't think that is true either. How I write on an internet forum, and how it makes other think of me affects me and my life in precisely zero ways. What I think of you, based on what you write on this forum also affects you in precisely zero ways. Sure, we truly care what
some others think of us, but that is limited to those people who are part of our daily lives and have an actual tangible impact in our lives.
Someone who thinks it's ridiculous that I ride a carbon frame bike, with SRAM Red, and carbon tubular wheels may be right, but it doesn't affect me. I ride it because I want to, and because I like it. It could be further argued that it's ridiculous that I also have a custom titanium frame road bike, and two cyclocross bikes, and a TT bike, and a mountain bike. Again, they could be right, but I have them because I want them, and not because someone thinks I should.
