First, it's you're (you are), not your. Secondly, you have all those options, really. You can mistype it and ask if it's correctly after, quickly search for it on google, get a translator, a dictionary...

Lets say your in the middle of a sentence and all of the sudden you realize you don't know how to spell something like, Barracks (Incredibly difficult, I mean really how is there no x in there?!).This is actually very simple to do. When in the middle of typing a sentence and you get stuck, immediately hit Ctrl+A to select everything, Ctrl+X to cut it, ask your question, then open up the chat box and hit Ctrl+V to paste it in, and continue on from where you left off.
What should you do?
Delete the sentence and ask for help? (Takes more time and slightly detracts from the flow.)
Minimize and check Google? (People think your AFK if you take too long.)
Or do you just spell it the best you can and hope that no eye bleeding occurs? (You misspelled a word.)
Which would be the best course of action?

I don't see how it saves any time to not capitalize, punctuate, etc. If you're a good typist, which most people these days are, you can churn out ~70 words per minute and as far as I know, hitting the shift key with a pinkie finger doesn't detract from that at all.
