It pretty much boils down to whether or not you're articulate. In order to be so, one must have knowledge of grammar and its structures to properly express what one is trying to say.
For some reason, if the grammar is off or there are many typos, I start to question the authority of the writer. When reading anything, when a person does not care enough to look into his or her writing, I question how serious they are because they can't even get the basic writing part down.
I just can't take the writing seriously and as a result, seriously undermine the worthiness of the information I am looking at.
I wonder if this, too, is a type of prejudice.
[edit]
Though ironically, when I go back and read some of my old posts, I realize how much I suck at grammar too. -_-;; Perhaps rather than a prejudice, in my case, this is a kind of hypocrisy.....
