To be honest, most of the top programmers or engineers that I know have terrible, terrible grammar and spelling. A number of them do not speak English as a first language but others just don't seem to care that much. Would I base my hiring decision for a new programmer or engineer on the amount of spelling mistakes in a resume? I would give it thought but I would be more interested in actual real life working experience.
