I think it depends on the context, as above. If your friend that you know is well-educated sends you a message with loose grammar, are you going to go on thinking he's retarded now? I don't do this personally, just taking a potential angle on the letter. It is interesting that some people are so judgmental and stringent about this, though.

It doesn't matter how well-educated you are - if you can't be bothered to write a coherent sentence and take a couple of seconds to make sure you're using capitalization and punctuation correctly, why should we believe you're going to be careful in other areas of your work? You're allowed to make mistakes, but not caring about how you write would make me worried that you're more likely to be lax in other areas that are even more important.

  >if you can't be bothered to write a coherent sentence and take a couple of seconds to make sure you're using capitalization and punctuation correctly That's a flagrantly strawman version of what he or she was saying.
