very dissapointed

Not destructive, but constructive criticism..

If you are asking for help on a situation, or communicating with potential customers or sellers, using proper punctuation and grammar DOES help you out. Poor grammar and/or lack of punctuation can lead to misunderstanding, which can lead to major issues with a deal.

You may want to practice using proper English(American) as much as is possible so that it becomes natural for you to type that way. Send your emails or posts or whatever you happen to write to a friend to "proof read" and point out any issues, so you realize what is confusing and what is "passable".

Being able to type up a reply to a email communication will soon make you look like a rocket scientist, with the way people are becoming more sloppy. I myself don't automatically consider a poor writer to be a poor keeper of animals, but I do consider that they may be sloppy in setting up a deal, since they are not very clear when they are typing out the offer to me. Text-speak and a lack of structure can make it impossible to work out what they are offering or expecting, and thus I'd normally rather pass on the possible deal and move on to someone who is more clear.

When you are presenting yourself as a professional, it's better to appear to know what you're doing and not like you're typing out the fewest possible characters so you can get back to video games or pizza or whatever activity that is more important than responding to the communication. When you have a store, and a customer walks in, you don't generally greet them with "Yo what you want?". You'd normally ask politely so the customer knows that you genuinely want to have them as a customer. It should be no different via email.
