spelling is important to me. i'm not a spelling nazi, but i do judge ppl by how they write. which is not very nice of me...
often i make the silliest mistakes (i'm dyslexic) and it just annoys the hell out of me. i end up editing my entries 10 times after i post them. and i re-read e-mails at least twice before i send them. mistakes slip through though.
I think I do the same thing. Generally, if I start to read fic and the grammar is so bad as to be distracting, I don't read anything else by that author. Maybe it's wrong of me, but there's a lot of bad fic out there and I only have so many hours in the day, you know?
I'm (mildly) dyslexic too, so I understand about the silly mistakes. It's frustrating, because usually when I write it the first time it looks right. And when I go back later, that's when I discover the error. Grr.
same here... it distracts me from the plot and often, if the grammar is bad, the rest won't be that interesting anyways.
the thing is sometimes i won't notice the mistakes even after i re-read the thing two or three times. i mostly switch the order of the letters, and i simply can't spot those things. ;'
