I might be a bit old fashioned, but one of the ways I would use to "filter" the several thousand applications I might get for the "big jet job" would be to throw out those who have a bit of a problem with spelling, grammar and syntax.

I want people on the flight deck with me who are literate and able to communicate concisely, clearly and effectively.

If you can't spell how do you use a dictionary?

If I need them to look up something quickly in the QRH or whatever, then it helps if they know readin and writin and speakin.
May I suggest that the "wet behind the ears" may have a bit of an advantage over yourself.

fase, crok, hindrence, comand ?

This isn't personal, just an observation.
If you want to be perceived as a professional then you need to appear to be well educated.

The way we use our language is the guide to others as to how we think and process information.
