RE: And speaking of spelling
The agent said
"Now I need your John Henry".
The man started to write John Henry....
"No" Said the agent,"I meant your full name."
"That is my name, John Henry Frost."
A little farther down the page the agent said,
"Now we need your Jack Frost.
NO NO I meant your signature."
"Yes, I've always signed my name 'Jack Frost'".
I don't know if the story was true or just a family joke but I heard it from Mrs. Jack Frost, and they had recently bought a home.

In the UK to become chartered with the Institution of Civil Engineers you are not only assessed on the technial content of you submissions, but also on your written English, spelling, grammar and syntax. The Institution believes that to be a Professional Engineer you must be competent in the use of English.
How is this viewed in other countries? I once had an Australian colleague who maintained that spelling was irrelevant in an engineering context?
