Re: Spell check is your friend...
I spent a lot of years in university, but my spelling isn't great, and my grammar isn't always correct. I definitely use spellcheck and google to aid in proper spelling. I agree with the OP. It may take more time to strive to spell correctly, and use proper grammar, but I think it's important. When I review resumes, I automatically discard those from candidates who have spelling mistakes.
Incorrect spelling and poor grammar detract from even the best written ideas.
I won't always be young, but I can be immature forever
