It's certainly a significant problem.
I wouldn't buy something from a carpenter who didn't know how to use a saw properly. Language and grammar are the tools of the writer, and if he or she doesn't know how to use them correctly then, no matter how good a storyteller he or she might be, the result is not going to be good to read.
You only have to look at this site, where, one might expect, members had a higher-than-average level of literacy, to see the number of people who don't seem to know the difference between "your" and "you're", or "its" and "it's". I find it rather depressing to see.
