Especially porn sites often have poor spelling and grammar on tour pages....
Thats because some webmasters think it's ok to have dyslexia and not use spelling checkers, others think that optimizing for a misspelled word is good, others just don't know better.

When I write text content I ALWAYS check for spelling and grammar - I also tell my partnered webmasters to do so as well.

IMHO 'correctness' is supposed to be looked at in a way of what an average person would expect to find when reading a certain piece of text.

Papers, articles and most importantly everything you publish in a scientific, business or "corparate" environment should always be as proper as one can craft it.

Sometimes a few spelling or grammar mistakes make text content more real, though - read postings of people looking for sex, for example. A properly formed, grammar and spelling mistakes free sentence would be very suspect here; also people tend to use simple, short words with few syllables and not lengthy, complex words which are crafted into a phrase with lots of correct interpunctuation what include semicolon, commas or even dashes.

I again voice my opinion: text is text - and it's al relative ;-)
