I'm not sure any of the posters on this topic would get hired! See asterisks below for some spelling/grammatical problems. Problems range from outright spelling errors to common grammatical problems like case mismatch. I would think if someone were to criticize spelling and grammar, they'd check for them in their own posts first. On the other hand, I suppose the rules on forums like this tend to be more relaxed than those that apply to a more formal resume format. Nevertheless, you can't be too careful!
---------------------------------
I think the more a person knows about the position they are applying for *shows more depth but I will dismiss a resume almost from the *gitgo if there *is spelling errors. A resume should be a crowning glory to show your stuff. Having spelling errors tells me that person is not very *detailed oriented and the resume must have been slapped together.

One gentleman I interviewed in the past received a red line due to his *mispelling of the last TWO employers he had worked for. One of which had given him paychecks for TWO years.
I agree; but update your own resume! The last time I checked my own, I actually had a spelling error!
--------------------
There are too many tools out there to check grammar and spelling before a resume is sent out. In the tech industry, if *they can't figure this out or just don't realize the importance of it, I'd not want *him under me.
--------------------
I whole *heartily agree with your post regarding spelling. And with that I hate to nit-pick, but gitgo is spelled get-go
