I totally understand typos and whatnot - I do it, too. People aren't infallible, but when people consistently spell words wrong, or use the wrong words, or abuse certain punctuations, I think it's fair game to judge their intelligence. If you can find me a person that has brilliant ideas but can't spell for the life of them? I will make an exception - that person is bright, but uneducated. At the same time, when I see an articulate person with flawless grammar that is exceptionally ignorant, I will judge their intelligence, too - they're educated, but stupid.

I don't think proper grammar is the end-all be-all of intelligence, but if you want to cook properly, you've got to know the difference between a teaspoon and a tablespoon, right? Doesn't mean you won't mix it up every once in a while, but it's something you should know, regardless.

And the professor uses them all the time. I dropped her class last time because not only was I swamped with work from my other classes, but her informal way of handling the class really rubbed me the wrong way, as if she figured that because it was the internet, she didn't have to articulate herself properly. I'm only taking it now because I need to make up the credit and she's the only one that offers it online :/

Umm... What about in real life? If so I nominate myself! I have trouble with spelling and pronunciation. Granted the computer does remove a huge degree of that issue, but I have a lot of trouble going between auditory and written words (like if you spell something, you have to go super slow for me to copy it). Obviously when I have a spell check, that's not much on a issue, but if you were to see me writing up an essay sometimes I have to rephrase a little or try spelling a word a couple of times to get it done to the best of my abilities. That being said, if it's online, then there's not much of an excuse (I'd use a web-based spell check on my posts in the past).

So I mean, it does rub me the wrong way too if it's a consistent problem (or just clear lack of caring), but at the same time, I certainly don't believe in keeping a scorecard.

I'm sure I know how to spell more words than I know how to say XD The way I converse through written words is more articulate than how I actually speak. I'm scatter-brained, so a lot of what I type is rewritten several times, even in IM or chatrooms. I don't expect people to be perfect with their dialogue, and I don't expect character dialogue in fiction to be perfect (in fact, it bothers me if it's perfect - people don't perfectly articulate everything they say in real life!) but I think that's another discussion.

Scorecards, no, but I'm still going to point out to people that "irregardless" isn't a word, whether they're speaking or typing. And I do tend to stop reading or listening to a person if they're lacking sense, which tends to go hand-in-hand with lack of proper grammar and spelling (more-so with typing than with speaking).
