I grew up with weekly spelling tests and spelling bees in elementary school and SAT word lists in high school (if you spelled the word wrong when inserting it into the fitting sentence, you didn't get credit). That being said, I frequently spell sentence, recommend, and other random words wrong all the time, even more so on my iPhone...

It is not just what you say, but the way you say it (or spell it). I've never been riled up enough about someone's spelling to leave comments, but I do notice. Depending on your blogs audience and your goals for it (ex. getting noticed in your field), taking a few minutes to self-edit wouldn't hurt. No, I don’t believe so.
