Poor spelling makes it a lot harder to get your code to compile, that would mean you spend more time fixing your code than a better speller, which makes you less productive. Being a better speller would improve your job prospects, especially if there's a problem on your resume or letter of intent, when I do hirings a misspelling is an automatic rejection.

Aha!! Not a programmer, are you? The program will compile if all of the symbols are equally misspelled.

I pointed out in previous posts that spelling for postings is not important. Spelling for work-related tasks is. I also pointed out that my software is nearly flawless, with few bugs even with a short development cycle. I even pointed out that I produce about as much code as six people. I've been doing software for a living for over thirty years. I am currently employed.

Take the time to read everything that was posted. Miss snippy equated spelling mistakes in postings as a general case of reduced intellect. You folks are due for a paradigm shift.
