FFor some folks, I suppose. I cannot read a piece of more than a few lines if it has too many errors because my mind must stop and correct the problems. And many errors actually change the meaning of a sentence, sometimes pretty radically. If one is paying attention to the article and what it actually proposes rather than just skimming it for a general impression then these errors destroy the usefulness of the article.

Misspellings and bad grammar in informal comments are bad enough. In a published piece they are insufferable.
