At the college where I work, several employees can't spell and don't really seem to care. Although they aren't faculty, they frequently send out e-mails which are read by all faculty and staff, and it's downright embarrassing.
How many times have I heard other faculty members say something similar to this to their students? "No, I won't count off for spelling because this isn't an English class." And I'll bet the morons who created the calamitous guidebooks for NYC had college instructors who told them the exact same thing.
