As I have gotten older when I read something someone writes, if there is huge grammatical error I become fixated on the grammatical error and miss the actual message.
Not getting the message

I used to be that way, especially after I had taken an editing course where we were tasked with going through some local newspaper articles and marking them up. Seriously had to stop reading those for a while as they are usually riddled with mistakes.
I can relate to this. It's hard to understand what message is being delivered when most of it makes little to no sense. I find myself wanting to reply with "huh? You want to try that again?".
People talk with grammatical errors, so when writing what they say or even narrating its acceptable.
Sometimes, I miss the message even though it's written correctly
That happens to me sometimes too.
I know what you mean Fred. The one that irritates me the most I think is your/you're.
Maybe I'm the one making the errors, so probably I don't even notice them... 
Not you. I am refering to people who write for a living and make blatant grammatical errors.
I write for a living.
I write in English as a second language. I learned English from people who themselves were teaching English as a second language. When you are using a second language for your profession you are also prone to making mistakes.
However, I also have a strong dislike towards people who make grave mistakes and still call themselves writer.
People tend to become dependent on autocorrect. If not caught by autocorrect they miss it as well.
