Bad grammar doesn't bother me in the least. Your spelling isn't an exact sign of your success since plenty of successful people are bad spellers. The content of what you say is what matters.
I had this same conversation with my girlfriend recently. She's a complete grammar Nazi and feels that if you misspell anything in a debate then you completely lose the debate. As far as she's concerned you could be the president of the USA speaking to a 10 yr child and if you misspell a single word then the child wins the debate. I find that level of grammar Nazism to be stupid.
I speak fluent English, Italian and can get by in Spanish. I was born in the US but technically Italian was my 1st language and I still sometimes think in Italian and then translate to English. But for the most part I just think and speak in English since I am actually American.
I would rather be a bad speller but speak 3 languages well than a great speller that only speaks 1 language.
