Angelica/Mark:

I think most people look over their work before they send it out, but people
are not perfect, and with the stress of looking for work....mistakes are
made.  And for an "i" or "e" out of place, if the person has other
qualifications, their spelling is not that important and I may overlook the
mistake.  If it is clear, professional -- professionals do make mistakes,
answered my questions from the job ad.....I would not round file their
resume.  But, if they are a possible  grant writer, public relations or
director, then yes---I would look at that more closely.  (where's the round
file?)

In fact, how many of you have seen mistakes in job ads, misspelled words,
missing words and incomplete thoughts.   Do you want to work for a boss who
cannot spell? Or the Human Resource office that sent it out...that is where
you have to be correct!  Something that goes out to the public.  But here on
the internet, among friends, make all the mistakes you want....I understand!
(LOL)  Oh, we are friends?  (mid-day humor has got me!!)

Besides, we all have seen many professional journals, newspaper articles and
such with many mistakes in them.  Even English Lit. professors back in
college make some slip-ups on what they wrote.

I would be interested, myself, in finding a software program that not only
checks the spelling..but goes over grammar, and all the periods, commas and
other things required in a letter or what you write. Too, maybe the word is
spelled right (so the spell check pass over it) but it is the wrong
word...how many of you have had their spell check change it incorrectly?  Or
you keep it as that word, because the spell check did not catch it and
thinks it is okay?   That is common mistakes that need to understood my
employers and human resource managers in resumes, etc.

So does anyone have or know of such a program, besides the "spell check"
that comes with
your Word or Works program that will go beyond the normal spell-check
program?  Thanks in advance!

I better run this through my spell check.

Best, John
