I think we write because we want to communicate (and connect with others). We don't want our readers to be distracted by obvious spelling/grammar errors. We hope our readers will focus on the message, but sometimes they become fixated on an error and lose the message. Maybe they offer suggestions for corrections because they want our message to be more perfect. It's complicated. I would want to know if I made an error in an online posting because I feel errors would weaken my credibility as a writer. Would you want to know?
