It does, and it doesn't. Maybe it's more the spelling that bothers me, but it's the really basic stuff like "to/too", "your/you're" etc. I used to drive myself nuts when I'd post on a message board or write something, worried that I'd split an infinitive or ended a sentence with a preposition. Now I don't care. I just want to communicate, not win the Nobel Prize. Mostly I laugh things off. Because of hip-hop, I see some people spell "ludicrous" as "ludacris". LOL. And I have a friend that is smart as the dickens, but he has this habit of putting apostrophes in the wrong place, such as "did'nt". I just look at it as a quirk of his.

What's weird is that people go nutty over spelling and grammar, but, when you think about it, our innumeracy is more troubling. I read some study that reported that a fair amount of college graduates don't have the math skills to pick the better value between two brands of peanut butter at the supermarket. That's some scary stuff.
