Very well said mac10. Dont worry about it. I honestly dont see where
in alot of IT positions that spelling would really matter anyways, unless
you were documenting something or maybe a project manager. If your helpdesk,
who cares how you spell in your tickets, if you a system admin, you type
"reboot" or "halt" wrong, all hell isnt going to break loose. Programmers
I could understand, but then again, alot of the programmers I work with
cant spell when they are typing in email, but notice errors when typing
code.
Bottom line. WHO CARES? Just run spell check on your resume and check
it 2 or 3 times. You can mispell on your W2's. Hell the federal government
is mostly morons anyways.
Just my 2 cents guys. Flame away to my email, not the list. Linux list
having the biggest thread in a while on "mispelling" is real lame.
