Firefox's universal spell-checking gives me boners.
If your poor writing makes it difficult for people to read and understand what you're saying, then it's unacceptable. If I can read what's being said, but notice a fair share of mistakes, then I will make (possibly unfair) assumptions regarding the person's intelligence or lack thereof. If there's a few little mistakes every now and then, then it's no big deal at all. Unless they are trying to make a very intelligent point, or calling someone else stupid, or correcting someone else at the time.
