exactly, Redmond.
I'm not throwing a plug for Flashkit, but I've been a moderator there for about three years now. No telling how many sites I've reviewed in that time.
I can't tell you how many were a single person's masquerade as a "web design firm" or "Design Studio" and such, trying to look much more corporate or serious than what it actually would be-one person doing freelance work.
I've seen so many sites filled with typos, poor grammer, bad design elements (set of buttons in Flash that don't align because they don't know what the Align tool is, or buttons using only the text as button and not a full shape over the top...crap like that).
You see these efforts, and you can't help but think, "This person's site isn't 100%, they can't show total perfection with regard to such simple things as correct spelling and grammer, and they expect me to trust them with my money and my web site?"
I think you know what I mean. When a professor in college told us to consider yourself out of the running for a job if your resume has even one word misspelled, plenty of people took that to heart. I figure, why not apply the same focus to everything else that communicates anything about you.
