I read a guy saying in another screenwriting platform (very convinced, insulting anyone not agreeing with him) that spelling mistakes, grammar and format are not important when submitting a screenplay to the industry. He also mentioned that he is represented by an agency, that they don't mind spelli...

I tend to think that when we hold opinions, such as these, we don't consider the many points of view that exist due to the spectrum of experiences that we'll never know. We tend to hold a perspective which is, in reality a singularity, yet we insist that everyone else's experience is a fractal relation to our own.
My own opinion is ambivalence. I think spelling and format are extremely important, second only to the primarily important points of storytelling and creativity. Any noticeable slip, in any of those aspects, can mean the difference between pass or fail, in any number of potential scenarios.
I will say that spelling, grammar and especially format, are the simple and objective things to get right. If you're going to do the hard work of story telling and creativity, why not also get the simple things right?

Expand commentOwen, the guy didn't mention who his agent is, I presume he doesn't even have one. After insulting many people in a post, Admin stepped in asking to keep the discussion civil, which I thought was a bit weak, but after he trolled my post I contacted them personally and I have been reassured he has been warned (although I remember months ago in here someone using the same intimidating technique and being kicked out straight away). The website is talentville.com, I must say there are hundreds of good people in there, and only one so far has spoiled it so unless he is coming back for more I'll keep an eye on it because I like their concept (it's "you do review my script I'll review yours" kind of website).
