1. It look weird.
2. It's possible to be great at making up worlds, characters and plots and so on without having a clue regarding spelling and grammar, but unless you have a really good editor I think I'll answer no. Spelling and grammar is important, because lack of them becomes big road blocks for the reader to overcome.
3. I like wordplay! (To the point of being ridiculous, as my co-workers will tell you.)

2. When's the exception to that?
3. Favourite music you're unfamiliar with? (Yes, I realise that's an odd question.)
