A person who shows up to their job interview for a position in business management and smells of body odor, is wearing clothes with holes and tears, hasn't brushed their hair, and shows up fifteen minutes late with no excuse... well, they might have all the necessary skills to be a great business manager, but they're going to have a hard time getting somebody to hire them because of how they present themselves.
This is actually basically the argument I use with him whenever he's being particularly cantankerous and contrary (I mean that in the most loving way) when I point out a typo he's made. I'm only so particular with the way I emote because I understand that writing style leaves an impression on the RP as a whole. I set a high standard for myself so my biggest struggle actually is not being a complete ass to him behind the screen about it xD (since he's almost always sitting right behind me, I never point it out ingame unless it's really, REALLY funny)
But he is improving. FFXIV is actually his first written-RP format (he's used to tabletop stuff, see) so taking that into consideration I think he's doing pretty good. What I basically wanted to impart though is, that assumption can be a pretty big one. Writing mistakes do leave an impression, but if you would otherwise be interested in the RP were it not for those mistakes, I say give that person a chance to show you how much they care about the other things you care about. (I mean this last part generally, not to you specifically)
