It only takes a few seconds to review what you've written before hitting "submit" and that doesn't mean that we all don't make mistakes sometimes but this post is just careless.

With the exception of corresponding between close friends and family, spelling/grammar matters. If you cannot spell correctly or use proper english, you do not seem credible. A prof in college who always got flack for docking points for grammar even though it was a political science class (and not english, which people thought was the only acceptable class for mechanics to count in) told me that, and really it is true.
