Depends on the spellchecker/autocorrect. I know they are technically different because of how you interact with them, but autocorrect is just an automated spellchecker/grammar checker.
The spellchecker/grammar checker in my web browser on my desktop is great, barely need to fix anything and it brings things to my attention. It also tells me something is wrong, then I choose whether to do the correction.
The autocorrect on my phone is a steaming pile of crap that changes words into other words that it shouldn't, so I ended up turning it off because it wouldn't let me confirm a correct spelling for something that was close to another word.
So any typos in my posts will be due to doing it on a phone without a spellcheck, since I turned that off and my thumbs aren't as reliable as my fingers.
