Maybe some of these people could get jobs if they first learned how to speak, read, and write standard English. I know that email is a somewhat lenient medium, but if you're putting your credentials forward and communicating with someone who is said to be a business expert, in a forum in which your words will appear before thousands or millions of people, isn't it prudent to write correctly? Failure to do so calls into question the poster's basic education and intelligence. It's shoddy. It's careless. It makes me not want to hire anyone who does it.

From what I see, spelling and grammar/usage does not count any more. Employers are more than willing to hire the 20 something male who can't write a coherent sentence, rather than an experienced older female with credentials far superior than the aforementioned.
