Honestly, no.  I write the way I talk ... conversationally ... just as you have in the post.  I do use spell check ... and that works well for me ... most of the time 

Thank you for sharing this with the AR community.

I write over 100,000 words per week and I only get 69% of them correct. How do I know that? I use Grammarly. Far and away the best writing improvement service I have ever come across. 

This looks pretty cool too. Good luck Rainers.

I prefer to write as I speak.  Isn't always the prettiest and I have to be careful because I use jargon and words not everyone will like, but I find it's more authentic.  I am who I am, regardless if it's on the phone, in person or in print.
