You have just demonstrated the very worst of America.  Perhaps I am just not
on the level of personnel managers and headhunters who never make mistakes,
so maybe it is appropriate to throw out my resume because I've mispelled
something in my cover letter.  That of course is the true measure of a good
designer/manager (like myself) -- that I never make a spelling mistake.

Other parts of the world are not so insecure and self-important to judge a
candidate by his/her spelling or the paper stock used, but thank God we in
America know what is important!

I am so disappointed in how petty, mechanized, non-thinking and plain stupid
American business practice became during my seven year sojourn overseas.
