I agree. I don't have tolerance for that either. I am especially tough on grammar when it comes to grading. When my students are complaining, I just say "it is your mother language, you use it for more than twenty years, you should know better." That usually shuts them up. Whether the silence is an indication of shame or they are just out of arguments, I don't know.
