Whoa there, Tiny Tim, I disagree completely with that.
I worked in several different engineering disciplines over the years, including industrial, plant, design and process. Let me assure you that writing and spelling are as important to your job as anything else that might be involved, and usually more so. If you make a mistake in a contract proposal due to bad/wrong writing/spelling, it could cost your company thousands/millions of dollars. And your secretary sureasheck isn't always going to catch all of the missing nuances of your mistakes either.
Engineers are known to be as anal as hell when it comes to writing or spelling, as they relate to their job.
JMO obviously.
