Default 94% of Readers Say Grammar Matters
The results of last month's poll are in, and 94% of WW readers think that grammar matters online:

What's your take on it?

Great article and I completely agree!

When I had my writing business, I made a nice little income out of checking work to make sure there were no mistakes in it.

I personally find it incredibly annoying when websites are riddled with mistakes.

Brilliant article! I completely agree.
I may not be grammar perfect but it means a lot to me. I lose respect and interest if there are too many grammatical errors in any writing.

I totally agree. It doesn't look professional if there's basic grammar mistakes all over your website.

Great Article!

I agree with the above views. If you can't take a couple of minutes to proof read a post/article before you publish it, you shouldn't be taken seriously in my opinion as it shows a lack of proffesionalism and a 'i don't care' attitude.

Harsh...but true.
