You know, considering this was posted on a RP forum where most of the content is done up in long hand written form, it's not surprising what people's stances are for the most part.
 
I appreciate and honor good grammar and spelling, anywhere except notes. I don't mind if you spelled something wrong when you were taking notes for a meeting, school, et cetera. I'm also more lenient with fast-paced writing where you may have switched your thoughts mid-sentence (grammar) or mistyped (spelling) and never corrected it because you didn't proof-read.
I tend to judge people who use chatspeak and/or poor grammar. If English is not your first language, you have a learning hindrance, or some other similar reason, I try to be less judgmental.
 
As long as I can read it and understand the meaning of it, I don't get severely annoyed with it. If it's illegible and uses phrases such as "Yolo" or "Swag", I tend to get annoyed, as I am a lame unhip fellow who does not understand these odd words.
 
I think as long as u can understand what they're saying,it's fine.its not like ur turning it in somewhere professional
 
If I can read it, I have no problem with it. Unless course a wrong word was used instead of the right word.
