Proper spelling - is it that important?

The idea of this kind of (kinda?) makes my skin crawl. As someone said, changing our language to appease the lazy folks who just dont want to learn how to spell correctly is just a bunch of bullshit. Its just another excuse for the people who dont want to try, and another example about how kids are being coddled these days.

And if college professors insist on the whole 'content vs presentation', they're not doing their students any favors because a misspelling on a resume or cover letter would leave them with nothing. Employers look for perfection in these things because it tells them something about who they could be employing.

(And honestly, if this article mentioned the words 'your' and 'you're' or 'there', 'their' and 'they're' as being acceptable mistakes, I was gonna punch something.)

Jam it back in, in the dark.
