Oh, I also wanted to add that writing skills are even more important today, since we do so much communicating online... I only know most of you through your typing, so how do you think I judge a sentence like "I wuld of buyed that snake, but you're price is to high." I'm going to think you either have a learning difficulty, English is your second language, or you are just plain dee-de-dee. Can't help it when I only know you from your writing, even though some people are simply bad typists. But try explaining that to a potential employer, when you email them a cover letter filled with errors!
