If they're not looking for real resumes they should perhaps rethink that. It's one thing to hire someone you already have an existing relationship with and know well, and thus are willing to bypass the formalities of resume submission. But when hiring new people you don't know and really bringing in someone from the outside, I can't imagine not asking for resumes.

Good writing should never be underestimated. I see countless paysites out there with poorly written copy full of typos, run-on sentences and heinously bad grammar and can't imagine ever signing up for one because it's obviously a half-ass operation. What does it convey to your users when the person responding to their e-mails can barely forumale a sentence? How about when you try and establish relationships with other webmasters?

People do appreciate the ability to write. Everytime I properly use a semicolon in the update writeups on our sites - I shit you not - I get at least a half dozen emails from people who comment on it and mention how refreshing it is to see a semicolon. .

Most of all, though, as an employer, what kind of impression do you receive from someone who can't write or express ideas in words? It goes far beyond simply conveying informality. It makes an impression on a broad scale.
