I apologize, Downeaster, it's the way I was brought up.
My father always told me "Sloppy spelling, sloppy grammar=sloppy thinking, sloppy logic." So if I'm asking for opinions, I'll always prefer those from people who express themselves correctly.
I must admit, however, that this approach has led me astray on several occasions. There are, in fact, some people who are very intelligent, but just happen to be poorly educated. Not too many, but definitely some.
