I had perfect grammar and spelling until ~30. Then it went downhill.
It coincided with dating more illiterate women. So I always attributed this development to letting go of an attention to detail that went unnoticed: What's the point of writing or speaking correctly when nobody around you can tell the difference?
It might be age rather than environment, although I doubt it. I also don't really mind.
My code hasn't become less type-safe.
