Yes, as a matter of fact, it does. This thing that we call language
enables us to do something that sets us apart from the other animals on
this planet, namely converse.

In order for conversation to take place, common understanding is
required. Misunderstanding on the Internet due to the explosion of email
is common and becoming more-so.

Spelling and appropriate use of punctuation is an essential element of
common understanding and thus conversation.

So, yes, it does matter...
