My
dear, it is!
Communication is primarily for mutual understanding, but beyond that, the beauty of language (spoken or written) is in speaking/writing it correctly in such a way that it wins admiration, gains respect and sells your idea.
As a public speaker, I know from experience that you can win people over by HOW you speak. A lot of people I know are easily put off when a speaker cannot properly put his/her thoughts into words. If you are a learner, there's a level of tolerance, but even at that, everyone wants to see you get better at speaking well.
The bottom line is, if you want to speak a language, learn to speak it correctly, otherwise, you may appear incompetent to those you would be speaking to, especially in the workplace. So, put extra effort into studying grammar and learning how to use words in the right context. You'll never regret it!
Cheers!
