The spelling and grammar fixes are important, because the improve the overall impression created. Poor spelling and grammar can put people off reading the literature. In fact, part of the reason you get so many objections is because you provide high quality commit messages! :-) Anyway, I'm not saying the objections shouldn't be addressed; I just don't want them to comprise the only feedback you get!
