I still don't get it how spelling error = bad hire. I probably might have small gramatical lapses, but that doesn't make me a bad engineer. Keep in mind that not everybody knows English natively. I was born in a different country, and know three other languages, and it is common to say a word, and the real meaning is something different from what I think it is. I always spell behaviour, with the U, and word always get is a misspelling, which obviously is not. As I said, I hope a that a future employer is able to look past superficialities, and get to the core if I am a good engineer, and fit for their culture. At my previous Coorporate Job (big finance company), everybody had to dress well (collared Shirts all the time), and your resume had to look good, be formated right, yet the engineers that worked there were two notches down, both in quality and quantity of the work, from the current company where I work now, where everybody dresses casually, people have less formalities and have the "Less b.s. and let's get things done" attitude. Obviously people that care about "looks", and appearances, would not be comfortable at this place. Plus, at work I have both word, and Automatic spellcheck on emails. Yet gramatical errors are almost inevitable for a foreign born, still this doesn't make me a lesser engineer, or a lesser hacker.
