I've heard it said that grammar doesn't really matter, that language is dynamic, fluid, and that usage changes, and that we shouldn't get hung up on misplaced apostrophes, split infinitives, wrong tenses, and the like.

I'm one of those people who gets very distracted if I spot some error in grammar when I'm reading text and that's not just irritating. It can spoil the enjoyment of an otherwise well-written piece of writing. Part of me is accommodating and I just assume that it was a slip of the pen or perhaps that the author didn't know about the grammar, or perhaps that it's an integral part of the author's style. But another part of me is far less forgiving.
