That's really interesting! I don't have any such preference for writing or typing, but typing is cheating because of autocorrect. XD Except when I spell something so wrongly that it doesn't even come up with suggestions. xD That's a little embarrassing. Yep, the next generation not being able to spell wouldn't surprise me. Then again, autocorrect helps me sometimes rather than hinders me... To me, learning the correct spelling is up to your willingness to apply yourself to remembering it. Whether it's a teacher who corrects me or autocorrect, it's still up to me how much effort I invest into learning it! x)
