So, to start with, the reason why I posted it here is because I realized something from programmers/stackexchange; it doesn't talk much about programs itself, yet the art of programming.

Back to the original question, I'm pretty sure that all of you have either heard or have even said the quote "You have such bad grammar, you expect us to think that you're a programmer?" or the like. However, I want you to reflect for a moment, and think of how either wrong or right you were or are.

So, what do you think? Does grammar also imply one's capacity to program?

Not at all.
Poor grammar is usually just a sign of being too casual - you will find they probably write just fine at school.

Precision is extremely important. Since programmers ultimately function as people who bridge between ideas and a finished product, they truly need to know about their business, and they truly need to be able to present their business professionally.

Being coherent and respectable is important when you're integral functions, especially when your job is to write directives for the stupidest workers we have, computers.

While anyone may be a decent / good / excellent / horrible programmer regardless of their grammar, they aren't a very desirable employee (or employer) without it.

Still, they probably do go hand in hand. Education is education, intelligence is intelligence, and they ought to be even most of the time.

It doesn't matter if you involve grammar into your programming, it's just the quality that matters

You can still see the difference between a lazy internet-slang user who knows his grammar and someone who simply lacks it

Honestly, I only use grammar on ROBLOX in the forums and group walls since they are open places where I am subjecting myself for judgement of anybody who cares to see. This being that I want to show a professional attitude towards others and not drive them away from my products.

Of course to be a developer requires a degree of professionalism of which grammar is a part of just like any other business however he asked if you could infer someones programming ability solely by reference to their grammar on some random forum. Personally i think reviewing their code to be much more effective.
