How much spelling mistakes and html errors affect PR?

Words like "abraka - dabra" or company name "Aji Ltd" are spelling mistakes

Hi,

I am here with another doubt, I know that a site should not have spelling mistakes. I am very careful about that, but what to do with,
1)words like "abraka-dabra", which is used as magical metaphor.
2) company name as "Aji ltd", which are not a part of english dictionary.
3)<b>C</b>hapter, instead of "Chapter" search engines considers this as two words, one is "C" and the other "hapter"."hapter" is surely a spelling mistake.

My questions are:-
1)Does spelling and grammer mistakes matter in PR realm? If yes how much?
2)How much important is html validation?(eg value for attribute type (text/javascript) of element SCRIPT should be quoted (i.e. type="text/javascript"))

Thanks

Aji

Although spelling and page validation are important, they do not affect PageRank. PageRank is calculated by the number and PageRank of other sites linking to you, and the number of sites you link to.

I doubt it counts at all.

2)How much important is html validation?(eg value for attribute type (text/javascript) of element SCRIPT should be quoted (i.e. type="text/javascript"))

Again, I would say not at all. As long as the page loads and can be read I doubt Google cares. In fact, most *good content* pages often have bad HTML (Frontpage etc) but who cares?
