While I can be forgiving for most of those kind of errors, it saddens me
when I run across a communication from someone who is supposed to be
teaching my grandchildren filled with incorrect usage of the language,
including spelling errors, errors in sentence structure or syntax errors.
I have noticed that in newspaper quotes, emails, and 'official' school
communications. If those educators are either so sloppy to create such
errors (or really do not understand the rules of the language), I get a
negative impression of the level of communications skills that are being
taught to our children.
That has nothing to do with the typos that are caused by 'keyboards'
that are too small for fingers.

I am careful when I write a formal letter. Here I'm talking and I often
notice, with a chuckle, how I sometimes mangle the English (or is it
"American"?) language.

Typos or improper spelling or the incorrect words are always inevitable.
Proper grammar errors are yet more likely.
