Working in publishing and editing for a long while, proofing is second nature to me. HOWEVER, this is an age of warp-speed communications, so there are areas where latitude must be given - text messages, for example. Despite best efforts, I get autocorrect-spanked on occasion - and can somehow read past most autocorrect mistakes and understand the true intent.
And having lived in the IE for decades,  I bet a few people saw that and were like, "700 again? When will it cool off?"  3:)

I do my best and generally check, sometimes after I hit send or post

Since I know that I make mistakes I do my best to ignore the mistakes that others make and hope that they respond by ignoring my mistakes.

It is important and remember getting a client in the old days because my relocation letter had correct grammar and spelling while other agents' did not. However in this day and time I am much more forgiving because people are in such a hurry.

Yes, for me it's proof-reading, as SpellCheck can easily have a 'wrong word' in a sentence, even though it is 'spelled correctly' Annie Adjchavanich.  I always proof-read, and it's just something that I do in texts, anything posted, and e-mails which are casual and social, to anything that I may write/create.  You just never know when your fingers can be on the wrong keys!
