Speed isn't everything.  Quality matters.

Twitter seems to produce a very low level of communication.
Some authors still prefer cursive writing. Probably because it forces
them to spend time thinking about what they are writing.
Dictation produces a different style of writing. And when transcribed
to text you lose all the voice inflexions. shrugs, and other
non-verbal communications.

Even typing in haste produces errors. (Though readers cannot hear the
screams of rage as you type).  :)
Rereading and using the spellcheck should be made a habit.
Sometimes I even 'sleep on it'. Rereading something in the cold light
of day can often cause a rewrite.
