Would you date a girl with bad grammar?

So I met this girl online who I kinda dig. She's cute, seems nice, and I would ask her out on a date IF she didn't have atrocious grammar. I know, it shouldn't bug me but it does. If she seemed like a slut then maybe I wouldn't care. But she's a nice girl and I'm worried about even wasting time on her because her grammar bugs me so much. I know, this is odd but I enjoy writing and judge people's intelligence by their ability to write. She's born in the USA, which bugs me out even more. Here's a snippet from an email, three fragmented sentences, no commas, were instead of we're - makes me wonder!
Cuz its one and the same. and were here for music right? Then maybe we'll talk about it later.

are you serious about getting some or what?

grammar schmammar! she can dot the Is and cross the Ts after you hit it & quit it.
 
The "Cuz" part is normal for an email...but the "were" isn't a good sign. I mean, I'm a grammar person myself but when it comes to emails I have to let it slide some, but we're and were...c'mon now.
 
Your grammer isn't that great either. I have, and I would again.

edit: I found over 15 grammatical errors in your post.
 
and then she goes "like oh my god" so I go "no way!"

after the first time my father met her, he said to her "If you talk like that in your first interview, you ain't got no job. Clean it up if you want to be a teacher," and walked away

one time she pointed out that her grammar couldn't be as bad as everyone says it is, so I spent the next two minutes interrupting her every sentance correcting her.... :beer:

I guess it's because i'm 24 and she's 26... 'Cuz is ok if you're 15 in my opinion.

Does this girl speak well in person? Is it only in personal emails that you see these errors?
 
I have to agree with the OP. Bad grammer drives me up the wall. I know I'm not perfect, but if we don't even try to use proper spelling and sentence structure we are all moving towards using ebonics, netspeak, IMtalk or some other variation of english. I drill into my kids that if they come off sounding like FityCent, then they will not be successful in the real world.

Make sure they remember it DAMNIT!
 
As long as she can scream "Fvck me from behind like the bad girl that I am MisterJackson" in proper grammatical form then I'm cool with it.
 
Why don't you have her write you an essay or short story? Then you could make a decision! j/k You're a schmuck!

I know I'm not perfect either, of course my internet grammar is not perfect. I posted here not to get a job but to vent. BUT this girl should be trying to impress me, or at least put her best foot forward.

OK, another snip, she's discussing her "perfect guy":
But your honest and your not a sell out. You treat women on an individual basis because each women is different and some earn respect and others could care less. Your not perky by any means and you learned at a young age that the cheerleader may be a cutie but overtime a commoner spreading her legs for the home team.

Your for you're is something that I feel like she should be concious of at 27.
