You can still proof it. Op is just saying they don't need spellcheck (perhaps because they do have an editor).

Actually the OP specifically said “grammar” checker, which since they can write is likely an intentional distinction. Alternate phrasings reveal the absurd elitism of the statement.

“I don’t need a spellchecker because I can spell.”

“I don’t need a calculator because I can do math.”

As a longtime copy editor and proofreader, I would have to agree that spellcheckers and grammar checkers are not worth shit.
