I check every source text before I take the job. Obviously, I don't read the whole thing, but I read a few sentences here and there. If there is a gross problem with text quality, I notice and set the price accordingly. Typos would have to be exceptionally bad to affect my price, but I have bumped the price before due to poor phrasing/language that made the text hard to decipher and generally a pain to work with.

That's the kind of feedback I was hoping for ;). Perhaps I should start doing so myself too. Problem is, that I get so much work, that I often don't have the time to look into projects, before I start working on them. Okay, we call that a 'luxeprobleem' in Holland.
