This is a topic that has been mentioned, on occasion, to bloggers and others who have written e-books or websites and want feedback.
Namely, that if you put your work out there and want to be perceived as professional, you need to write properly.
Or, you need to hire someone to edit your crud so that you can get your message across without turning off the reader.
We hang out on the tripadvisor forums to help travelers, and here is a GREAT example (posted today) of how an earnest assessment can become ridiculous when spelling is bad:
I did keep reading after I hit the first few snags, but my respect for the writer diminished significantly.
Sadly, their lowball score is what tripadvisor uses, so the damage will be done, spelling or no.
So here goes: How many of you think I'm just being Obsessive Compulsive here?
When you write something online, how important is spelling/grammar to you?
Do you feel that others make too much of this?

PS Just for fun: How many spelling errors can you find in the review above?
