it does if you are in the professional world if you are in bae or bro or yo or what up yo world etc.... no it does not matter most young people no offense to any young people are lucky they can spell their name correctly soooooo my guess is getting these phrases correct are on the end of the realm of things to do....
Actually I find that older people go by it because that is what they were taught, but those young'uns who grew up with phonics can't tell the difference and don't care to because they got trophies just for showing up.
Not at all. You simply begin noticing how much poorer the schools have become. This is basic 3rd and 4th grade grammar.
Me too. Gives me hope to see a young woman like yourself showing wisdom beyond her yearsmakes me glad im not a part of these young'uns
Of course it matters, things have come full circle, my son is nine and he is being taught English better than I was and I am 45 years old
There are plenty of adults well into their 40's who use 'alot' in their writing, failing to understand they're - a and lot - two different words.

And so many people saying they should of done something.
Yeah, they should have learned that of does not equate to have!
It hurt me to see it, but my daughter would be embarrassed and somewhat miffed and offended when I would correct her grammar when she was younger... but I told her people would think she was stupid if she could not spell or speak properly (on chat boards mostly), and I wanted to spare her that humiliation. She eventually came to see that I really was trying to help her out of my love for her Now she has said how she looks back on some of the mistakes she used to make and she shakes her head at them. We all make mistakes, and that should be okay, but we should all seek to improve ourselves if there is room for growth. The biggest room in the world is the one for improvement

The biggest room in the world is the one for improvement People in the UK who are in their thirties and forties went through a period where grammar was not taught in school. Please excuse my grammar and spelling. I struggle with my spelling, I could learn words for a spelling test but when writing an essay would spell the same word wrongly. When I re-read what I have written I will miss the mistakes I have made, so for uni I get friends to read my work for spelling and grammar mistakes. Also my typing is not always that great.
It should matter...or spelling and grammar should be eliminated from school and college.
That chart didn't include "accept" and "except", words I've seen used incorrectly here on CC too many times. :-/

Spelling...spelling the right(vs rite vs write) version of a word...or spelling az in misspeling werds?
With a computer, I can see a person still using the wrong version of a word, but not misspelling a word, since computers have spell-check.
People in the UK who are in their thirties and forties went through a period where grammar was not taught in school. What was behind that crazy nonsense idea?
