Does Spelling Effect Hiring Potential?
Sure, everyone mistypes or misspells every once in a while, but when, say, 30% of a posting has spelling errors, and you have to interpret the misspellings as you read, does it lower your opinion of the poster?
There are issues other than spelling that bother me personally (like using a 's to add plurality to a techie word or acronym - ex: PC's vs. PCs), but these don't radically change my opinion of the poster. Misspelling on a large scale, however, does.
(And yes, I spell-checked this posting twice as I made myself nervous about the spelling!)
