This is a question Amazing displays of ignorance

Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic tells us: "My dad's friend told us there's no such thing as gravity - it's just the weight of air holding us down". Tell us of times you've been floored by abject stupidity. "Whenever I read the Daily Express" is not a valid answer.

I applaud you
As an employer, you are absolutely correct to disregard CVs with mistakes.

Not only is lack of spelling ability a sign of stupidity from someone who should know better - but even if it's just a simple typo (like "teh" or something), that just means the person doesn't care enough about attention to detail, and didn't bother to proof-read the CV before sending it.

Best mistake I've seen on a CV
is "I'm a good worker with great attention to detail, a good work-ethic, a can-do attitude and great attention to detail"

Or indeed to have spell-checked the damned thing
