Jason: don't take this as a personal attack, but proofreading is your friend. I know you're a busy person, but it seems like more often than not I have to reread your copy because you didn't.
Not proofreading also comes across as self-centered and arrogant. If other people's time is worth as much as your own, and 3600 people will read a message, then it's worth spending an hour making sure that people can understand it on average one second more quickly.
Of course, most people value their own time more highly than others'. But even if that's the case, it's surely worth spending 5 minutes to get it right.
I disagree, perceived benefit of the contribution outweighs errors in grammar. Try refactoring your language parser to improve single pass absorption rate.
You are one of the closest conceivable people to the question, and your answer got downvoted because it was ostensibly broken English, which made it look spammy (and thus, kind of ironic)
I have never thought that you might be paying people to log into your personal hackernews account to post something on your behalf. I do think often that the typos mean you don't value my time as a reader.
