One can always use spell check post facto to edit. The way I write - and the way many people write - is to get all of their thoughts down first and then go edit it. I don't like seeing a lot of distracting "ink" on the "page" while I'm getting my thoughts down.

OTOH, I seldom use the spell check even afterwards, unless it's a formal document.

I never use the grammar check under any circumstances.

Minor misspellings are almost never important to effective communication. Seeing a few of them reminds me that it's a human at the other end.
