Punctuation, important or not?

Sometimes I read corrections here in Italki that don't really care about punctuation. Not only exclamation and interrogation points, but commas are really important too, and I feel like the punctuation is sometimes different depending on the language. Also, a bad punctuation could change the meaning of a sentence or even a text.

What do you think? Is punctuation that important? Should we focus our attention in more important things while correcting?

(You may have noticed that english is not my first language, I'm sorry in advance for my misspelling and grammar mistakes).

This makes me feel sad I'm not a teacher, so I know nothing about teaching others how to speak my own language. Even so, once a while I come to Italki to help others with their questions/texts in spanish. I try my best to explain to others some basic and simple spanish facts, because I feel like I shouldn't get into grammar or more complex issues. I'm cool with that. What really peases me off is reading some "corrections" with grammar or spelling mistakes. That's really sad because of 2 main reasons: 1.- The person trying to help is making mistakes in his own mother tongue and he/she didn't even realize it. 2.- The person trying to help didn't care enough to check his own spelling/grammar when correcting other people's mistakes. Sometimes it looks like some people just try to get the correction done as quickly as possible and leave it half done. Both of these options might confuse that one person who was just trying to learn another language. It's very frustrating. It didn't happen to me, I just see it now and then happening in spanish corrections. ¿What do you think? (Ps: My grammar is way better in spanish that it is in english, I promise.)

Thank you! Hey Spazie, I just wanted to thank you for your videos. When I'm feeling low I just go to your channel and you always make my day. You are the best, keep it up. I would like to tell much more, but I feel like my english isn't good enough and I dont have words to express how much I thank your work. I appreciate your dedication, your humor, your optimism... Thank your for all of that! Have a nice day!
