I've always been a grammar and spelling Nazi... I'm not perfect at it, but I try my best to do it correctly and I try to correct others. Over the past year or so, I've cut back on my patrol though, because alot of the times, the criticism does no good. I have the mindset that if I receive that type of correction, I should quickly change so I don't make that mistake again, but I guess it's not the same for other people.
ANYHOW - I found this article quite intriguing: http://blogs.hbr.org/cs/2012/07/i_wont_hire_people_who_use_poo.html
Here's an excerpt:
Grammar signifies more than just a person's ability to remember high school English. I've found that people who make fewer mistakes on a grammar test also make fewer mistakes when they are doing something completely unrelated to writing — like stocking shelves or labeling parts.
Take it or leave it.
Of course - purposeful misspellings are a whole 'nother realm.
