Do you judge people based on their knowledge of grammar?

Yes on both grammar and spelling, it subconsciously creates an instant impression be that right or wrong. Some of the spelling on here is at times atrocious and it makes you hold back on conversing with someone. I also realise that some people do not have English as a first language and accept that but those who do create impressions simply based on their spelling and use of grammar

@JayneA I am dyslexic, what about people like me?
JayneA · 36-40, F
@WeighedDown yes I totally appreciate some people have medical conditions which influence their spelling and grammar and I understand that. Often the more common forms of dyslexia are apparent in people's writing, so that is a different issue and my comment was simply an answer to the question. In that do I make instantaneous decisions and judgement based on grammatical correctness and spelling. I did not say I was right to do so just that it is an inbuilt reaction

@JayneA I have another learning disability, that I nor my auto correct can spell. It causes, me to mess up words and comas are like bigfoot to me i know they exist but not sure where they belong,
