Agreed, but it makes them easier to sort through. I routinely round file any resume with spelling or grammar errors, poor formatting or punctuation use. This is an industry that is about presentation of ideas, as well as technical ability. If you're technically brilliant but can't present your ideas to a client or colleague, what good are you really? Of course the same applies to the applicants with great, beautiful and well-composed resumes or portfolios who are technically daft (6" deep beams spanning 50', no consideration of safety/code issues, inadequate circulation or support space (mechanical, electrical, storage, etc). Just being able to make crazy-cool computer models isnt terribly impressive anymore either - I want well-rounded, capable individuals who can step into any one of several roles easily... That's valuable.
