Use of 'alot' is something any spelling-checker should/would catch though. It's a red flag that indicates that the applicant doesn't think the job and/or their resume/CV is worth the few seconds it would take to run it through said spelling-checker and fix the mistakes. I have absolutely no interest in hiring someone with that kind of attitude.

As for grammer fascism, it should only be imposed when the lack of grammer makes the post difficult or annoying to read, cleary people make typo's and have necesary short hand.

Forum posts != job applications. For a job application I expect people to put their best foot forward. On this forum, it's fortunate if they don't fall over.

For job applications, that's easy: Mr. Job Application, meet Mr. Trash Can.
