if i saw that on a resume it would be filed in the third pile, the paper shreader.

Try marking papers like that or reading emails and/or submissions put forth by 'professionals'. Marks come flying off the papers. Credibility of the individual steadily decreases.

Some people have become too dependent on spell-checkers that they don't think about what they write.
