What approx. % of your responses on Fluther are written from Mobile vs. computer?

And, more significantly, what effect does each method have upon your spelling, punctuation and general writing style ?

In another question, I was about to make the statement that nowadays I’ll bet that the majority of Fluther users are on Mobile.

However, I realized that I had no definitive basis to make that statement based only upon my hunch or my personal habits.

For those of us who are hyper-aware of proper usage of punctuation or spelling, the advent of autocorrect on mobile platforms really does throw a monkey wrench into the works.

And each phone’s unique version of autocorrect which differs significantly from another is another factor. IOS does things quite differently on my phone from the way Android does on my tablet.

And added to that is the relative difficulty of trying to proofread on the small input space on mobile as opposed to the much larger area on computer (or the opportunity to first compose the post in Word and then c/p into Fluther. )

So, what’s your experience like with all of this ?

(And being limited to a five minute edit period doesn’t help matters either :)
