Should we collectively stop spell checking and fixing grammar

Question

I know this sounds strange, and this could have been a reddit post, but I have realized ever since I went back to not rewriting things for polish using AI. I have had more positive feedback from the community and any personal/professional email.people prefer reading short emails which doesn't have to be confusing.people dont wanna read AI slop. It sounds nice sure, but lately no one cares about the english language being niceeveryone just wants to have a conversation/discussion with an actual human.I personally am gonna just stop fixing grammar, and not care about it!Thanks for listening to my rant. Written by a human, who's still in college, and might not get a job. :/ crying in the corner

I write most of my stuff in vim so use a neither a spellchecker or grammar-checker. I have found that since I started doing that my spelling has greatly improved. My grammar can be janky sometimes, but I have doubt programs will help with that. If I want to be sure of my spelling I might find some textbox on some website and paste the text there.

(1) conventional spell checkers still exist
(2) it's ok to ask "is this grammatical?"
(3) I will bounce ideas off chatbots but I think I've used just once AI generated sentence in the last two years. On one hand it is not my voice and it also sticks out like a sore thumb. I mean, if I hear "you're not a fur, you're a therian" another time I'm going to howl at the moon or something.

Spelling and grammar errors will hurt you in the job application process. Effective communication is one of the non-technical aspects you are being evaluated on. These mistakes are seen in the broader context of attention to detail and professionalism. You look sloppy, no Ai required.

It's not the lack of spelling and grammar.It's the "reduction to the mean" that turns everything into bland corporate-friendly prose like the bulk of the corpus that AI models ingest.
