To me, that's one of many things that makes a story bad.
YES! YES! A thousand times, YES!
I give any author a two-word handicap. Everyone has one of those words that they cannot remember how to spell, or they're constantly typing one for the other inadvertently. I'll even forgive one screwed up phrase (like "tow the line" when they mean "toe the line"). But no more than those.
Because if it's riddled with so many grammatical/spelling errors that it resembles one of those avant-garde poems ("Dancing in wild abdomen"), then it is bad by definition. Why would I willingly read it, when there are so many good stories out there?
