Communicating understandably and with respect for others is important. Not only that, if you want
to succeed in anything worthwhile, you must give the impression that you care how you
communicate.

Culture is constantly evolving, inventing new words, acknowledging shortcuts (such as contractions
like "isn't", or acronyms, or text messaging shortcuts), and allowing artistic license in company or
product naming, etc. For all those reasons I'll acknowledge that spelling is not as precise as it
was a century ago.
HOWEVER, that does not excuse 100% flaunting of all grammar and spelling conventions. We need a
baseline to communicate and spelling is part of that baseline. The person with poor spelling should
fully expect professional employers to judge their skill set harshly, and likewise the person with
excellent spelling should be proud they applied themselves to learn how to do it properly and has
every right to point out the errors made by poor spellers. |

To state that spelling is not important, is to have a disregard for detail. To some, spelling comes
naturally and others must study or look words up. This is applicable to all aspects of learning.
If one cannot be bothered to check their spelling, it creates a sloppy end result. There are
exceptions. One or two errors could indicate a typo. If one is trying to read something and must
weed through many words spelled incorrectly, it gives them the impression that the person who wrote
it is unintelligent. There is really no good excuse for incorrect spelling. To have the use of
spellcheck, people who do not have the knack for spelling are able to correct their work quickly and
efficiently. If this is not an option, check the dictionary when in doubt. It seems like effort at
first, but to have people take you seriously you must be able to come across as someone who not only
put thought into what they said, but thought into the way they said it and followed that up by being
conscious of errors of all sorts, but spelling is rudimentary and not difficult to correct. |

Proper spelling is the best way to show your own ideas, your own thoughts, and your own words the
respect they deserve.
If I am so disrespecting of my words as to not bother to spell them properly, what reason is there
for anyone else to respect my words?
Good spelling and good grammar are the fundamentals of good communication. They matter every bit as
the ideas one seeks to communicate. |

Of course you don't have to spell correctly all the time, and we all make a mistake once in a while,
but it helps. If you want to get a good job, not only do you want a good vocabulary but also good
spelling. If you see someone spell one word wrong, yeah, okay, it doesn't mean they're dumb,
but--let's face it--they're probably dumb if they spell the whole stinkin' paragraph wrong. It's
also annoying to read one's work when they can't spell. |

I think you're right to a degree. Spelling isn't all that important as long as it's legible, but
correct spelling does give your response a certain validity in comparison to if it was written in
phonetics.
And people will always associate bad spelling with poor intellect. It's something they've picked up
from early schooling; spelling tests and the like. |

If you want to do well in a career that isn't fast food, be prepared to spell correctly, use grammar
correctly, and expect everything you type, say, do, and write to be judged. There is NO way I could
keep my job if I didn't spell properly. I doubt I would've passed the 3 hour test I had to take to
get the job. So get used to it. You will be judged. If you are intelligent....study. If you retain
what you study, you will spell things correctly. God, no wonder other countries are passing us by
academically. Not many people who are of any worth (career wise) will take you seriously if your
application or resume has clear spelling errors. I won't hire anyone who does... And I know I'm not
the only one. |

I think it's important if you want to be taken seriously. If you don't want to be taken seriously
then misspell all you want. Even the best of us has an occasional slip up, so I'm kind of divided on
this debate. Years of being under the guns of professors will make you spell things right though.
After years of writing and typing I've been trained to spell words right. I can't help it its
ingrained into me. |
