Your students' parents might care that their teacher doesn't know the difference between a volt and a vault, their and there and that you use ''an'' rather than ''a'' when putting it before a word beginning with a vowel.
How do you mark for grammar if you are so terrible at it?
I'm not a grammar teacher and I usually text messages on this forum. So there are couple of reasons why my post wouldn't be completely grammatically correct. I usually simply text the message out quickly with no regard for punctuation or capualization etc. I may have realized I used the wrong form of volt/vault if I stopped to reread what I typed. Now I've given you way more a response than you deserve, but hey whatever its a lazy day today. In any case I know the multiple usages for most words I use. Again though I don't typically care enough to spend much time proffrreading on forums. Do you always check your texts to people , even those you dont work for? Either way you should get the point I'vd made.
proffrreading is deliciously ironic, capualization is close enough but I'vd is way out there.
It's not always your typing, and proofreading isn't perfect - shit the number of "typos" or grammatical errors I've seen in recent years *in major MSM news sites* seems to be increasing...
It's DUCKING ridiculous they don't have copy editors/proofreaders to catch it.
Auto-correct has done some pretty crazy shit on me over the years, like trying to type "economy" too fast, missing the 2nd "o" so I type "econmy", and somehow it's fucking best guess to correct that is... "namesake".

Like WTF, that's not even close?
