Wow, some really outraged comments so far... Bottom line: if you're going to work for a company that does significant work with language and documentation, your grammar had better be up to it. Further, if you're hoping to get into a role where attention to detail really is important, yet you still (after a couple of decades) can't figure out how your own native language works, you're not really suitable for that role - because the implication is that your purported 'attention to detail' isn't truly so. Is that really so unreasonable??

Other comments rightly point out that grammar capabilities are not always good indicators of ability in other areas. But you'd be amazed how many job applications we see (from both designers and developers) with very basic grammar errors. Even if the role doesn't demand skills in English you should at least care about creating a good impression enough to make sure you've ironed out grammar errors in your application.
