I find it useful for self-evaluation. Writing things forces reason and logic and when reading things before posting, I frequently ditch things. It's not that things need to be guaranteed right, but they do need to at least make sense. Then, other people pull them apart and point out the faults. With such cross-checking of my thinking, my prospects of survival go up.

While it's nice to have spelling correct, and apostrophe's in order, it's not as important as getting the ideas right.

One thing I found odd 25 years ago when I started using keyboards a lot, was that thinking processes are different for handwriting on paper, and writing on a screen via a keyboard. Somehow the ideas were harder to write. Now it's not. It's easier on a keyboard. It wasn't the typing process - I have always been able to type faster than I could write [since high school in the 1960s] - it was something to do with the conceptualizing process and integrating that with the output channels.
