I would say about a 8-9 for me.

I write long answers, especially in the Holocaust section. I try my best to make them legible and, due to my dyslexia, this can be a bit of a bother.

I'd rate myself at a 9.5. I'm pretty anal and often post-edit as well if I see a mistake.

Maybe about five...

I usually notice mistakes before posting. But then again, I just answered a question with the word 'techer', so a bit of editing was done.

And yesterday I posted a comment with honestly every word spelled wrong.

Or punctuate - others is the plural, other's is something belonging to another.

I would have to say a solid 10, 10 being the most thoroughly (because some people think 1 is the highest).

Correctness of grammar and spelling is very important to me. The only grammatical rules I ever knowing break when posting are (1) ending sentences with prepositions, although I avoid it, (2) starting sentences with conjuctions, and (3) using "they", "them", etc. instead of "he/she", "him/her", etc. for the neutral, generic gender sense.
