I should turn that on. I think north of 90% of all my posts since Covid started have typos. Not sure how that global thing has made my typing so bad or inattentive but it seems to be at correlated.

I've gotten much worse about that over the years. I used to almost never have typos or grammatical errors in my writing, starting... I dunno, at age 10? Really young, anyway. If I made a mistake I'd catch it instantly and fix it without missing a beat. Some time in my 30s I started to get worse. My main problem seems to be simply skipping entire words, but I'm also far worse at catching word or phrase re-use without a separate edit pass.
