Spelling and Grammer Is it Vital?

I posed a question a while back and did not check it, therefore had some spelling errors in, due to typing too quickly.
My question is. In this day and age and considering we trade globally with individuals who’s first language is not your own, is it Vital to have correct grammar and spelling in day to day interactions with people?

I fully understand that if you want to make an impact through a proposal or in legal documentation it is vital, however is it just better to get your request out or should you always run a spell checker.

Do you feel, when you see typing errors or spelling errors in daily communication that it makes you form an opinion of the person who has sent you the message in a negative way?
