 MORE FROM YOUR HOST, THE SELF-APPOINTED GRAMMAR DIVA

I can excuse an error in grammar, but spelling, especially in this age of spell-check, is inexcusable.  I am constantly horrified by resumes that I see coming into my place of work - a veritable panoply of incompetence and carelessness.

Once such resume, which I am reticent to post so as to protect the not-so innocent, had listed as her former places of employ, Blommingdales and Nordstorms.  She'd resided at the former for the better part of five years - you'd think she would have been able to spell it in her sleep.

On a recent outing, during my apartment search, I came across this gem, which I knew I needed to share:



Apparently Joe has an array of firearms with which you can eradicate your trash.  Makes perfect sense to me!

When I managed the bookstore, our applications had a section where people had to write a couple of sentences about various subjects. They were like "How often do you read? Who are your favorite authors?" "Why do you wish to be employed here?" "Any other information you wish to share?"

On one application, under "Why do you wish to be employed here?" The applicant wrote "I gotz billz 2 pay."
