We have a guy here who is primarily auditory (talks to himself, talks to the computer, etc.) who can hardly spell two words in a row, and incidentally has some of the ugliest handwriting I've ever seen. My gut feeling is to go with Mr. Musciano on spelling, but I've run across too many brilliant people who couldn't spell a lick to totally discount spelling-deficient prose. A resume is another matter, though ... Background on the "peceptual mode" is from NLP: Bandler & Grinder's *Frogs Into Princes*, for example.
