Yes, we are an English spoken community. Members should try to the best of their ability and if need be use spell checkers like the really useful https://www.grammarly.comTom.G said:Is that a realistic expectation?
Quality of writing matters. First impressions matter. Our discussions are not transient. They stay, year after year like a knowledge base. I'm not saying it has to be perfect.
These values have been in place for years now. If you haven't gotten a notice about your spelling, then you're doing just fine.

It is not like I expect perfect English (heck, my English is in many ways limited), just showing that the poster doesn't ignore the most basic rules. In a way it is like showing work when asking the question AKA 'prove that you are serious'.
