Grammar is viewed as a tool for correctly structuring thoughts in a language, while spelling is considered a factor that ensures clarity and precision in written communication. The article also discusses, through real-life examples, how grammatical and spelling errors can lead to negative consequences in practical situations such as writing letters, submitting applications, and holding conversations.
