I'm not sure that judging people on poor grammar and spelling feels justified to me, per se. As another commenter mentioned, though, I tend to judge the people who proclaim to not care.

I've also been known to judge negatively people whose words are incongruous with their actions, people who slurp or make loud smacking sounds when eating, and people who stand in the way of passengers walking out of a train/bus. Justification be damned. :) (But it's good to be aware that I judge these things.)

Fair. I'm not expecting people to expound upon the Oxford comma, but neither do I jump for joy when college-educated folks refuse to use spell check. I guess this belongs more in the less-justified judging list.

*lol* whereas i, non-prescriptivist linguist-at-large, LOVE LOVE LOVE "poor" grammar and spelling -- it's pure data on the state of the idiolect, and grist for many of my mental mills.

doesn't hurt that one of the smartest people i know (the clockwork elf) made an early impression by being non-fluent with the written "two/too/to" homophones when he was in college :)

heh, and now i'm thinking you probably do *not* much judge me by my improper caps ;)
