I didn't know that about dyslexia; I've now learned something new. Thank you.

I actually turn off spellcheck/auto-correct on all my devices because it doesn't check context. For more formal writing, I proof it before I send.
For texts, my sister tells me she can always tell if a text is from me because it's appropriately capitalized/punctuated and everything's spelled correctly.
