I find that it does. First impressions matter, and while they can be misleading, I find that more often than not they're not too far from the mark. Online, all we've got is our writing style to make a first impression (besides our avatars, which provide little information.) While the writer's thoughts can say much more about him/her than how he spells "definitely", it's a whole lot easier to get to the crux of the argument when you don't have to wade through a torrent of poor english.

My impression--I could be wrong--is that use of poor english is very highly correlated with doltish comments.

Some of thes "cult" movies are quite popular, so I am guessing it can't mean non-mainstream? Also, some movies have "cult" fanbases.

I'm learning English.

"Prof. Aton then smiled again while I just stood there, dumbfounded."

Before the "dumbfounded" is there an "I" omitted?
How should I comprehend the -ed in "dumbfounded"?
