I had these things drilled into me from a young age, so most of the time I don't even need to think about it. But my grammar deteriorates rapidly when I'm tired, in a hurry, on my iPod, or just don't give a shit. xD
In Swedish, I'm quite the perfectionist and always was. Not shy to try odd ways of constructing sentences or using full stops though. In English, I still make mistakes sometimes, and maybe I always will );
When writing casually like now, I don't worry too much as long as it gets the point across. When writing in prose I try to pay more attention, but boy do I still make a lot of grammar mistakes after I let someone else look over a piece of mine.
I care a lot about grammar in general, obviously it's easier when we're speaking about my native language (Italian), in English I think that I will always make some grammar mistakes. {XD}
i only care about grammar when i'm writing to be honest, really. capitalization mostly. i try to get all the spelling right, just capitalization i could care less about.
I have good grammar while speaking and writing in real life, but I can't say that I do or even care online. Usually I don't read over what I type and it comes off as poor.
I invested a lot of time and schooling into learning grammar and I don't want to feel like I wasted that time so I think of grammar as pretty important. Like, the 7th or 8th most important thing.
I specifically made the effort as a teen at the dawn of social media to speak and write with proper grammar and punctuation for at least a majority of the time. I try not to use any acronyms, either. Also, I write for a living and earned a Master's degree with an emphasis in writing.
It sort of bothers me when other people do not do it (particularly with instant messaging at work), but it is something that's easily forgiven at this point.
