I am a writer, so words are important to me. Those people who think grammar doesn’t matter are indirectly saying that the content of their speech and writing doesn’t matter. The purpose of grammar is to order content in a way that conveys clarity of meaning. If a person thinks that what they say has sufficient significance to make it worth taking another’s time and attention to hear, then as a matter of courtesy the speaker should be committed to transferring content clearly.
