I don't think it's a major factor but it still should be a factor because it speaks to the overall quality of your work. The best example I can give you is that I will read over what I write multiple times to try to eliminate mistakes that I've made. I want my work to be at the best quality that I can get it to even if sometimes it's just a bunch of dick jokes. Now I'm not sure if this person did it here but I know in another fed I was in with them that they would put a disclaimer on their rps something along the lines of. "excuse the mistakes, no rereads" etc. So basically excuse the fact that I'm going to throw up an rp full of mistakes that I didn't bother proofreading and my rp should be judged exactly the same as everybody else's even though you busted your ass making sure yours was well written. See, it just shouldn't work like that. You shouldn't lose based on that alone of course but it should be a factor.
