“A simple spelling error can destroy your life! “

Before I retired, I was in a position to hire people. I read their resumes, and if I found one spelling error, they were automatically put in the “do not hire” pile. If you choose to expose your laziness and ignorance for the world to see, more power to you.

I make spelling/grammar errors too but when offered a tool to reduce them, I take it. Your unwillingness to ‘push a button’ shows me you would not go the last step in a project. A similar lack of detail is what cost the lives of a number of astronauts in the Challenger disaster. I worked on that shuttle and it pained me to see the death and waste of money that resulted from a failure to understand the need to follow up.

Here is a poem dedicated to your "TOOL".

Ode the the Spell Chequer

Prays the Lord for the spelling chequer
That came with our pea sea!
Mecca mistake and it puts you rite
Its so easy to ewes, you sea.

I never used to no, was it e before eye?
(Four sometimes its eye before e.)
But now I've discovered the quay to success
It's as simple as won, too, free!

Sew watt if you lose a letter or two,
The whirled won't come two an end!
Can't you sea? It's as plane as the knows on yore face
S. Chequer's my very best friend

I've always had trubble with letters that double
"Is it one or to S's?" I'd wine
But now, as I've tolled you this chequer is grate
And its hi thyme you got won, like mine.

What if the company they used to work for was a deliberate misspelling of some word?

LOL!

Lighten up. This thread has been hijacked!
