Important. I make sure to use proper grammar while venturing the vast interwebs.
But if it's readable, it's pretty fine with me. Granted, there are exceptions, like if your post looks like this:
...GAH! It's time to take advantage of the ol' spellchecker.

LOL1! I lik pokemon. i tink its a fun gam and itz vast + expansve + full o fun tings.
Meh, im fine with it as long as i can read it, if i wasnt fine with it id be a massive hypocrit, i spell so much wong it isnt funny, i try and type to fast, it doesnt end well.
As long as it is readable and correct words like you and are, instead of u and r, and letters like e, not 3, im happy.
I usually try and go over my posts atleast once so its as good as i can be bothered with.

I'm slowly getting used to the illiteracy I see on the internet, but I still cringe when I see abasement of the English language such as "should of", they're/their confusion, "u r", or 1337.
//Edited to add: English is not my native language, and I guess that adds to my feelings on this. Using non-standard spelling and faulty grammar makes texts much more difficult to understand. Worst of all is phonetic spelling, I sometimes really have no idea what someone means until I pronounce the words out loud with what I suspect the accent of the author to be.

I do try to write with good grammar, and I do prefer if others do as well. However, if I have to look over something again to understand it... eugh. Plus, I really hate when people capitalise every word. I know others have already said that and given examples, but I feel it has to be emphasized (though I refuse to give an example myself - it hurts my eyes!!)
On a side note, it's good that so far no one has picked the bad grammar option on the poll!

It annoys me, but i'm not the type of person to say anything about it. Unless they spell Britain with a double "t". Then they face the fury, and by "fury" I mean me politely telling them the correct way to spell it.
I always try and use correct grammar. Probably feck it up more then I realise but no one has ever let me know so I'm wither a) Doing it right or b) No one cares about me.
As for me, I don't mind them using their over there and vice versa as I know what they meant.
I do mind the walls of text that have little to no punctuation though.

I can't understand or physically read grammatically incorrect sentences. I also dismiss them as unworthy of life, but that's just my opinion.
Naturally, a few mistakes are acceptable, as they were mere mistakes, not intentionally illegible.
Heil spellchecker etc.
