Spelling and grammar matter.

At least take a stab at doing it well.

Other than speaking to people, it’s how we interact with others. It can be professionally, casually, or with friends. Friends we can be pretty informal and slap emojis all over if that’s your style. But casually, even online interaction, people should favor more formal writing until “reading the room”. Professionally there’s no excuse, IDGAF how “brilliant” someone might be and suddenly they get a pass for whatever comes down the email pipeline (unless that brilliance comes attached to some bonafide neurodivergence or something), the awful writing I’ve seen come from some “professionals” is anything but.

When gaming, Idgaf about grammar on chat. Otherwise agreed. Situation matters.

That’s prime trash talking territory. There are no rules.

I once complained about people saying “would of” instead of “would’ve” and my comment got deleted because it was ableist.
