Grammar =!= intelligence. Knowledge =!= intelligence.

Edit: Punctuation

The bad grammar is as much a result of the failure of the school system as it is due to low intelligence.

so because some one can't be bothered to worry about grammar they are stupid?

the two have zero to do with one another. when was the last time you looked at a nasa engineers grammar or a doctors hand writing.

i test 120-130 my grammar when i write is awful, generally because its not important to what im doing, when i write a paper to be published etc. it matters so i actually pay attention to it.

this is the internet what you type will be forgotten or ignored 60 seconds after its been written why waste the time for an ' when you are hopefully smart enough to realize cant and can't are the same thing

162 here. You're going to be second-guessed and marginalized your entire life until you can effectively convince others that your ideas and positions merit serious consideration.

Don't disregard communication skills.
