  It doesn’t at all and even thinking it does indicates an extreme lack of critical thinking.

  The idea of correct words, and proper grammar as a means to dismiss someone’s opinion is based wholly in, hateful origins. Mostly racism.

  It’s just a hold over as a way to dismiss the poor and slave classes because they can’t speak “proper” like the landed gentry.

  The only thing spelling, grammar and poor word choice indicates is that the speaker may be a non native speaker, young, poorly educated, lazy, using a different dialect, made an honest mistake, etc.

  None of these things should ever be used to just dismiss someone’s knowledge or opinion.

  Doing so makes you nothing more than a bigot.

    I’ve found that people speaking English as a second language are usually better than the average native speaker when it comes to grammar. Something like ‘your/you’re’ is an easily learned rule. It’s the native English speakers who don’t know it only through stupidity. They’ve been taught, but they don’t care and just spew words that ‘sound right’ without thinking. And this mentality usually mirrors their discourse in terms of thoughts, logic and morality.
