The Lost Language

This is something that I will never understand or fully come to realization with. How can one call themselves a writer yet they don't have a basic grasp of english grammar? I am not professing to be perfect in everything that I write but I at least know the basic structure.
I tweeted about this a couple of days ago. I was reading a few of the "popular" blogs and I was shocked at how many gramatical errors there were in just one post. Now mind you, these bloggers usually crank out between 5 -10 posts per day. That's a bunch of mistakes! Some of the errors were simple like using too instead of to, or your instead of youre. The majority of the errors that I saw were things like double negatives, putting words where they don't belong etc. It's crazy because if they had taken the time to read back through what they just wrote then they, hopefully, would have caught these mistakes. It's not always about being first as much as it is about being right.
I understand that as bloggers we are free to express ourselves without conforming to anybody's set rules but when you portray yourself as a writer that blogs, you are held to a different standard. Before you start to wonder, no I am not hating (which by the way is one of the most overused terms in pop culture, right next to swag) I'm just merely observing and reporting what it is I'm seeing.
Those that read this blog often already know, and you can tell if you read my banner above, that I take great pride in what I write and I try to make my point in a way that everyone can understand. I was told that you must write for your audience. You don't recite Shakespeare at Chuck E. Cheese. I totally agree but at the same time you shouldn't have to 'dumb down' for said audience either. Speaking or writing gramatically correct doesn't mean you can't reach any audience. *this coming from the kid who was told that he wrote & acted white because I talked and acted like I had some sense.*
I think people sometimes confuse writing from the heart with writing incorrectly. Just because you're writing from the heart doesn't excuse lack of basic grammar skills. I write from the heart everytime I pour my words out onto this screen. That doesn't make me less passionate or heartfelt because I use correct terminology. It just means I take more pride in my work by making sure that what I say is correct.
Just my opinion, you may agree or disagree but it's my opinion.
