Poor Spelling/Story Development in RPs: What Are Your Thoughts?

I've yet to actually get into the RP thing, although it has caught my attention. I'd like to try it sometime (with exceptions, of course).

For the past few weeks, I've been studying the RP threads so I can get a better idea of what people are typing and how the RPs are developed. However, one major thing I noticed was the lack of spelling/grammar skills in the posts. This is something that I cannot overlook so easily, especially because I'm a writer. I aim for perfection in my writing, even if I'm talking to somebody in a chat room or posting on a forum.

The other thing I've noticed is the lack of story development. I can see the popularity in some RPs over the others, but it seems hard to develop a solid story to move the thread along when most posts are mere one-liners.

I'm not saying any of this to be rude, I just want to know what your thoughts are on this? These things are what make me hesitant to start. Any thoughts?
