I don't bother to correct it unless the person on the other side is mentally deficient or a grammar nazi.

Paper trail
I do that as a Gen Z
.........you can edit sent messages??
In iMessage, yes
I remember back when I had my moto razor flip phone and I could t9 type with it hidden in my pocket still, I felt so cool and tech savvy. Now people emoji react to my text messages and I can feel my hair turning grey in real time. I'll never give up my typo fixing *s or my ascii :)
Is it bad I have a tendency to edit, but if the typo is particularly hilarious, I'll use an asterisk correction?
Edit: obligatory edit
I still do that way. I don't plan to stop.
