I always judge spelling and grammar on a case-by-case basis. It is very
unfortunate, however, that there is such a pandemic of native English
speakers who can't spell or write grammatically correct sentences
anymore. I always dread doing group assignments in college, because it
means I have to proofread and/or rewrite everyone else's contribution.
My spelling and grammar isn't perfect either, but some of these kids in
my classes (all early to mid 20s) make our old pseudo-Australian troll
Andy look like a master of writing.
