I'm with you, Honey.
I used to discard resumes with misspelling/grammar errors, too. I figured that if they didn't *know* what was right, that I didn't want them in my group (my group had to be really meticulous and detail oriented). And if they *did* know what was right, but were careless and didn't proofread it carefully enough, I didn't want them that way either.
However. I have LOTS of patience for misspellings etc in more casual contexts (like Babble posts, for instance). (I didn't always have that patience... I think I gained patience when I started needing others to be patient with me...) In these contexts I really want to know what someone means.
No. They don't diagram sentances any more.
