Truly, spelling and grammar are trivial.
Trivial comes from the Latin word trivium, "a place where three roads cross." In short, a "commonplace."
Medieval scholars borrowed the trivium to describe the first three liberal arts: grammar, rhetoric and logic. They thought grammar, rhetoric and logic were the very core of all learning.

The liberal in liberal arts, by the way, comes from the Latin word liberalis, "worthy of a free person" (as opposed to an ignorant slave).
Why trouble yourself with trivia, when you're busy being a thought leader?
