The psychology view of that is exactly the reverse
People who read text and then think to themselves the grammar and punctuation in that was not very good are generally of higher IQ than those that read the text and feel the need to comment about it and berate the writer.
I notice the standard every time, but usually bite my lip (typing finger?) and, as a matter of courtesy, refrain from commenting unless I feel there is a point to be made; I rarely berate the writer, unless he or she seems to be lauding ignorance.
I scored fifteen in the test, too. I'm no longer in the first flush of youth, I know how to spell and punctuate, and I make few grammatical errors - and those last are usually deliberate, for emphasis or as a matter of style. Those who know how to get it right, usually do so, but in the end, so long as the message is understood the medium is of less importance.
That's it, innit.
