A few years ago I met a 5th grade teacher in a group I was in and she told us about how horrible the school system had become. Apparently the school wasn't teaching spelling anymore so she was having to teach students who didn't even know how to spell common words.
It was rather depressing really. These children were going to be at a severe disadvantage unless they started learning.
People don't look at resumes when you have spelling errors. They will think the applicant is stupid, uneducated, or just too lazy. Jobs are competitive these days - the people who don't care are not the ones who will be getting hired.
Do you hate people with bad grammar?

Sadly, you are very right indeed.
