Please don't say that -- I perfectly understood what you were saying and as

Getting a native speaker to clean up grammer and spelling is fine ofcourse
as it's makes for a lower effort read for many others but please don't say
Case in point -- s/it's/it/
that something which isn't flawlessly spelled is of no use. As long as the
content is clear, it's of great use!
Thank you.
But I know my grammar-check skill is not so good. I should make it better.
I always thank all commenters who fix my sentences.
It used to be customary at least on usenet to add "(sp?)" to a word you
weren't certain about but it never worked for me. When I indicated I wanted
to be acked/naked like that I really did but it was always just ignored.
That in itself is enough indication of how deeply people care about spelling
in technical content...
