Constantly making the same mistakes in the building application - stupidity or intent?

Who cares about spelling in a building application? Sure, it doesn't look nice, but that's not a reason to reject it. But if the educated people can't even add and multiply the simplest numbers, why are they even worth a cent? If you hire someone to get a building application approved, the ordered service is not delivered if it's rejected and theoretically not worth a cent.
That you can make money with permits, okay. But this could become more difficult in new development areas, because then everyone comes saying "if he gets that, I want that too or we'll sue your municipality into the ground..." Otherwise, people will probably try to sneak something in later and less so with the first application, so that it can finally get started.

And about bashing civil servants: the standard is just falling further and further nowadays. There are already police officers who have to call a colleague for a simple percentage calculation... just experienced that last week. But that doesn't matter here.
I just find it sad how poor the services are for the money paid. For private individuals, a few thousand euros is already a lot of money and they had to work for several months, while the educated guy doesn't even recognize 80 > 75. It doesn't matter who actually carried it out in the end. You hired the architect/company and not their intern...

Apart from your inexplicable aversion towards academics, I agree with you so far. Oh yes, and it bothers me when the location in my input planning is written differently in two places on the same page. It does not show care and seems hastily done, and since I have paid for it, I can expect a carefully prepared input planning. Same argument as yours [emoji6]

If correct writing is irrelevant in official governmental correspondence, then what is it needed for at all? Should it be reserved for journalists so that when looking at the newspaper one can see how one should write, in case one had to? And my argument is that it does not cast a good light on the education system if a standard (spelling) that is practiced continuously for 9–13 years depending on education has basically matured to a certain minimum standard among all students (except for dyslexics), and yet the opposite is observed in a significant proportion of school leavers.

And yes, a distinction must be made between a forum post and a report used as a performance record, for which one has several days. If the latter mainly differs from a typical WhatsApp chat by the absence of emojis, then someone has been asleep somewhere before.

If the correct spelling does not matter in official administrative correspondence, then what is it needed for at all?

A question almost as old as humanity
In official letters, spelling is often the only correct thing; I actually prefer typos over grammatical errors.

And yes, a distinction must be made between a forum post and a report used as proof of achievement, for which one has several days' time. If the latter differs from a typical WhatsApp chat mainly by the absence of emojis, someone has clearly been sleeping somewhere along the line.

Apart from the emojis and thick fingers, at least I expect that WhatsApp, Facebook, forum, love letter, professional documentation and bachelor's thesis may differ in word choice and topic, but not in spelling.

Then you are stricter about it than I am, because in chat I tend to write more like I speak casually. Besides, I do only a little proofreading there – there are always a few small mistakes in the first draft.

But in other situations, that simply doesn't work! That's why I make a distinction.
