do you bother adding apostrophe to your words when online?

title. for me, i usually dont bother at all. see what i did there? i didnt add an apostrophe to the word ''dont'' and i did it again.

but honestly, i just dont. its kinda of a habit from young. what about you?
 
I'm on my phone and it does it for me woohoo
 
I'm on my phone and it does it for me woohoo
my default phone keyboard doesnt even have that function unless i download another keyboard app. im only mostly on tbt with my laptop too
 
I do! I was trained to have good grammar (English teacher mother) and I use my phone to browse TBT 95% of the time. It’s just a habit really, but I sometimes do the lowercase typing when my friends do.
 
I'm so lazy but I always have to make sure my grammar is on point. Honestly I never really cared much but my sister always call me out if I do something grammatically incorrect, and I guess it has stuck with me :LOL:
 
Most times! Depends on the context (e.g.: joke posts, sarcasm - then I may not).

More laid-back in Discord or when chatting with friends, though.
 
I always do, because it looks better and is easier to read. also some words are indiscernable without an apostrophe, like "we're" and "were." in the context of a sentence it's obvious what the writer was trying to say but sometimes just reading and encountering something like that makes reading more difficult.
 
Yes, I'm a stickler for good grammar. I have to include apostrophes, capitalize, and punctuate everything properly or it really bothers me. I even do this in texts. The only exception is when I use a few acronyms like LOL.
 
If I'm on my phone it'll of course do it for me, I also forgot how to check my auto-correct function but it's okay ^^
I always use punctuation marks any time I'm typing, it's just how I am and I capitalize the pronouns needed whenever I use them haha! I know that's not even weird but it's just a habit to type and not even focus on the marks since they come naturally. I tried using no apostrophe's or punctuation marks when typing here on this forum or in a random text with friends and I just can't. It's not me I don't like it but I don't mind when others do it at all
 
I don't want to create any bad habits so I always try to use correct grammar. Even on Discord which probably makes me look weird to some people.
 
Always. It hurts me to write with poor grammar (exceptions being slang like "lol"). Honestly, it would take more effort out of me to try typing with grammatical errors. XD
 
Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t! It generally depends on who I’m talking to/the context I’m talking in, honestly. For the most part when I’m replying to forums and when I talk to most people, I’ll use them. I have a couple friends I’ll text with who I don’t bother using any grammar/we’ll use short forms of words with, though!
