Why can one ignore quantisation of electric charges when dealing with macroscopic charges?

for macroscopic situation we mean for large values or practical purpose. For situation where say 1C is under consideration, then one or two electrons less or more doesn't make a difference.

Answer:
In practice, the charge on a charged body is very small. On the other hand, the charge on the electron is very small.
When electrons are added to a body or removed from a body, the change taking place in the total charge on the body is so small that the charge seems to be varying in a continues manner.
Therefore, the quantization of electric charge can be ignored, when dealing with a large scale charged body.
