I thoroughly agree (with Craig). Most employers are of a generation where spelling and grammar are still valued, I am talking people over, say, 40. (Generalisations abound I'm afraid).
While I can tolerate spelling mistakes in open source documentation written as an afterthought at 3.00 am by a Czechoslovakian or American, I wouldn't expect a spelling error in a CV, even from the same programmer. I regularly receive CV's from Germans looking to spend their three month "elective" working in a law office in NZ. Their spelling and grammar are usually perfect.
