Today, I finished doing a resume that I had spent three hours on. I e-mailed it to the business I was applying for, satisfied. I decided to look it over. The first thing I notice, I spelt my own name wrong. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.

Today, I got an e-mail regarding an IT support job I applied to. The e-mail had numerous formatting errors due to bad code, and typos all over the place. It said I wasn't qualified for the job. FML

Today, I sent a cover letter to a potential employer. In the letter, I talked about my great attention to detail, my strong ability to focus, and my stellar writing skills. After hitting send, I reread the letter and noticed that I typed my name "B-R-A-I-N." My name is Brian. FML
Today, I noticed that I've been spelling my company's name wrong in my email signature for over a year. FML

That's why you look it over BEFORE sending it. Sorry, but YDI.

The more I stumble about the internet, the more and more ashamed I am of being an American.

Oh for god's sake! #117, you are completely ignorant and an aragont twat. If you think that spelt isn't a word then whoever taught you english (presuming they did) should be beaten mercilessly with an english dictionry and made to read out in a civil court "spelt1 (spelt) vb. a past tense and past participle of spell" I mean what the **** do you know about class? Well it's clear not very much! You are obviously completly up your own arse if you think that when someone is wrong about something it automatically makes them a 'hill billy'. I'm pretty sure that many people would find that incredibly belittling. People like you make me so proud to be english.

Been there and done that. Except I also forgot to put on any contact details.

Wow; the behaviour in these comments is more idiotic than the OP's actions. "Spelt" is a word, and "spelled" is a perfectly acceptable alternative. Why can't both American and British posters just get it through their heads that there are TWO *gasp* spellings of it, and respect whichever one is more fitting based on where the OP is from? Honestly, it's nothing to argue over! Contentious much? I don't care whether you're American, Canadian, or British; everyone who perpetuates the argument is just going to end up making arses of themselves.
