I review resumes everyday and the quality is appalling (misspelled words, incomplete sentences, etc. - even with spell check!).

I see this problem all the time when reading comments by readers on Internet sites including Free Republic. One particularly annoying trend is the use of "there" in place of "their" and "they're"--even among seemingly intelligent writers.

So one misspelled or overlooked grammatical error makes an entire piece unintelligent? That is a pin headed view IMO.

You're absolutely right. JimRob knows this is a hugh and series problem on FR, and it's worsened over the past several years. I don't recall seeing these grammatical issues before 5/3/2005.

J/K, FRiend.

Along with "definately" and "could of" / "should of" / "would of".
