Interestingly, I find that even if you do check, as I do, some mistakes  can still get through, indeed  in my txt above,  'ot' instead of 'not'!

I use predictive text when i write word documents. Frequently I find that words have not come out the way I typed them. But I find that out by checking and then I can make the relevant corrections. Typing, especially on a phone, will always have some mistakes but I still think even a quick check on what appears on the screen can correct almost all of them.

I think the important point, is "almost all of them". When I was working, we always said, don't proof read your own document.

This is called "Thread Necromancy" in other forums. A poster finds a very old post or thread and posts to it. This 'resurrects' the thread from the dead (where it should have remained)

It is generally considered poor form. Better to start a brand new thread asking about the topic. 

Though in fairness, when perusing forums someone may not notice how old the thread actually is. Forums like this one that have been around for a very long time can have some very old threads lying around.

Don't self-proof it before it goes to an official proof reader? That seems nuts to me. It basically means you take no responsibility for what you have written. It's the proof reader who gets the blame. No company I have worked for - and I am not a lawyer - would expect an individual NOT to proof his own work before it was fed on to someone else.
