How Important is Grammar on your site?

Hi All,

Yesterday I was in review mode after following the Boot Camp through to the end of the second course. What amazed me was the use of grammar and spelling on the sites. I mean in at least 10% of the sites I looked at the grammar was so bad I would guess that English is not the first language of the person writing the article.

Common mistakes are, mixing up the use of words like, affect/effect, your/you're, taken/taking, there/their, its/it's. These errors are common enough and we all make them from time to time, it's when you combine them with misspellings, using upper case in the incorrect way and not knowing the rules of punctuation, that it really destroys the reading experience. Punctuation is a biggie as it adds to or takes away from the flow of what is being written.

Maybe I'm just being pedantic but I think if someone is going to get what you are saying and going to read it to the end it has to be easy on the eye?

Does anyone agree with me? Does anyone know what view Google takes of this?


Rant over!!

I don't know Google's perspective on this, but I quickly leave websites that have spelling or grammar mistakes.

I agree totally! If I make it to the end of a piece written like that, it is only because I really need the information badly enough to suffer through it.

PS. I think I read in a few blogs that Google doesn't like it either

I think it's important.
That is one reason I haven't written my own WA-review yet.
Before I do that and publish it I will "use" my English-teacher-college :)
