Why do phishers deliberately use bad grammar or spelling?

Question

Doing data protection training and it says ‘Many hackers misspell words… on purpose.’
I’m glad this makes scams easier to spot but it just doesn’t seem to make sense to me as a useful tactic at all.

Edit: typo correction- hackers not jackets!

Partly it’s to weed-out people who aren’t savvy enough to become suspicious when they see a badly-written email, and partly it’s to give them the tiniest shred of plausible deniability in a potential lawsuit to claim that you misinterpreted what they wrote.
