I make writing mistakes all the time and don't even know it, I can not catch common grammar and spelling mistakes too. This is why I teach preschool/kindergarten. Insted of written grammar driveing me nuts, it speech grammar ,diction, and pronunciation that I go bonkers with. When speaking it's my friend and I, not me and my friend. It's spaghetti not sketty. for the love of all things good in the world it is not cute or funny when a kid can't say their r sounds or any others sounds in words! Get the kid in speech therapy! If you don't correct it when they are young they will possibly speak incorrect their entire life!!! Not to mention the oral and dental issues it can cause. yes an undiagnosed untreated speech impediment can cause poor oral mussel development and growth thusly possiblely impacting bite, swallowing and even jaw movement. Yes good pronunciation is very very important for many reasons.I am sorry but poor speech can make a very intelligent child sound uneducated. I am sure the people with written grammar Nazis disorder think the same about my writing skills. To the written grammar Nazis out there I applaud you and please correct me.
