I find this "rant" incredibly reasonable. It's not really a rant; it's an explanation. And it's an explanation that has never occurred to me. I intend to use it in the future.
Most of the time I try to restrain myself from commenting on what is often nearly unreadable spelling, grammar, typos, and left-out words in LJ and in emails I receive. It always makes me cringe, though. In almost all of my jobs I've ended up being the unofficial editor for all the documents that are generated around me because it's easy for me to zip through something and find most of the errors. I love red pens.
Thank you for explaining "Why is correct writing important?" in such a compelling manner.
Oh, and...
It's not unusual to be flamed by anyone (apologies to Tom Jones).
