Poor spelling on a job application/letter suggests that they don't care.
I am guilty of the odd typo here and there, and have been known to miss the odd letter, but I would fully expect to be treated in the same way.

At Christmas time when we were hiring temps, some of the first things we looked at were spelling and presentation. If a CV looked tatty, words misspelled etc, then that reflected badly on the applicant and they didn't usually get an interview.
Then again CV's seem to have changed in the past few years. Quite a number of applicants now include "Life Ambitions" and "Hopes and Dreams" sections which I find quite strange.
