Why? Because most internet browsers have built-in spellcheck so there's no excuse (other than not speaking English) to have spelling errors. Laziness is not an excuse - not a good one at any rate.
What also annoys me is when people don't bother learning the difference between "their", "they're", and "there", or "your" and "you're" - among other commonly misspelled words. Again, laziness is not a proper excuse.
This is something you WILL have to learn if you ever want to become employed. Yes, companies WILL throw away resumes when the applicant cannot spell, especially as jobs become more and more competitive.
Which bugs you more on the internet? Bad spelling or bad grammar?
