Welcome to the internet. Spelling and grammar is optional here.
But the pedantry is mandatory
Yes, out of hundreds of people who read horrible spelling and grammar, 2 or 3 might complain. If you ask me, the ratio is pretty low. For example, often posts will have a very short title but still manage to contain at least one obvious mistake. If people are going through the trouble of posting at all, you'd think they could be bothered to read back over the three words they wrote instead of mashing the post button without doing so.
This seems to be a popular opinion, but that doesn't make it a good one
