"Proper" spelling and grammar are some sort of indication of conscientiousness that the writer has put into ① their education, and ② the text itself. However, it's a pretty noisy signal; there are plenty of properly-spelled Bible study guides out there.
Also, there are a lot of insightful people who focused on learning other things (its amazing how little non-code writing even good cs programs will let you get away with) and/or who write in english because its common rather than because its what they were educated in.
And yet the good ones leave one with an appreciation for syntax that transfers itself naturally to the written word.
