Sumflow, a godzillion years ago when I was in high school I remember some kids rationalizing their poor use of English by claiming "it was the idea that counts, not the spelling or grammar". I was probably amongst that crowd since I was not a great student nor terribly proficient writer.
The fact is our ideas, messages, opinions, etc. when delivered through writing or speech do count and tells a lot about us as thinkers and how seriously our ideas should be taken. I can't speak for anyone else but if I have to mull over a poorly written post then I'm less likely to to put much stock in its content.
Spell check is a correction function that comes with most if not all PCs and Mac computers. There is really no excuse for misspelled words other than laziness.
Editing a post is a no brainer. Edit your post in the message box before sending it.
As a side note, if you want to see examples of well written posts yet have very different writing styles then read those submitted by Teresa and Elizabeth. One is more scholarly view point and the other more humorous but both clearly take the time to present their ideas in a manner that grabs your attention and makes you think.
