What do you do with the wretches when you catch them?

Usually the Americans who feel obligated to point out non-English speaker's errors haven't bothered to make the effort of learning a second language, let alone being able to risk typos & poor grammar.Please kindly remember that millions of people living in the US were born in non-English speaking countries (including myself), hence the occasional typos, poor construction of sentences, or grammatical errors.

His business depends on having accurate grammar and sentence structure. So it makes perfect sense to throw out resumes with poor grammar and punctuation. I used to hire engineering types and expected their resume to have accurate spelling and grammar. It is someone's first introduction to their perspective new employer. I would expect them to put a good product together to show them in the best possible light. I have eliminated candidates when there are obvious errors on the resume with spelling, grammar and format. Punctuation, not so much unless it was really bad.
And the first 'reviewer' might well be an automated spelling/grammar filter which deep-sixes the 'undesirables'.applications are now by email, reviewed and then request made by email for additional info if the company is interested at all.

Sorry, I forgot the emoticon.It was a real question. One can never be so sure of what people really mean.
So, couldn't I ask?
PS. Soon, the above list will be amended with the following.55. Thou shall not use emoticons.
Now...
What about using extra spaces between paragraphs?
Is using three periods to separate thoughts or points... ok?
And what about usin' phonetically based words to getcha point across?
IMHO, it's OK, if you're from Rud Islan.
Whaddya think?
