Exactly!! Well-written and articulate copy should be a given in ANY industry. While the absence of grammatical or spelling errors won't necessarily generate sales, it's highly unlikely to lose them.
I can accept - to a point - grammatical errors, because I realize that not everybody has had the same rigorous grammar lessons that I was subjected to by the ruler-wielding, mustachioed nuns at my Catholic elementary school. Spelling errors are another matter, though. It is so easy to run a spell check these days that there's simply no excuse for them in professional writing.
