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 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.
 
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!
