Note that this poem would not have a mark on it if put through Spell Checker, and all the grammar does it ask for a few words to be capitalized!!!

Eye halve a spelling checker
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My checker tolled me sew.

Copyright internet - haven't got a clue who really wrote it first.

Here is the entire poem - It is titled "Candidate for a Pullet Surprise." It was written in 1992 by Jerry Zar (retired dean of Northern Illinois University Grad School).

CANDIDATE FOR A PULLET SURPRISE
By Jerrold H. Zar

I have a spelling checker,
It came with my PC.
It plane lee marks four my revue
Miss steaks aye can knot sea.
Eye ran this poem threw it,
Your sure reel glad two no.
Its vary polished in it's weigh.
My checker tolled me sew.

A checker is a bless sing,
It freeze yew lodes of thyme.
It helps me right awl stiles two reed,
And aides me when eye rime.

Each frays come posed up on my screen
Eye trussed too bee a joule.
The checker pours o'er every word
To cheque sum spelling rule.

Bee fore a veiling checker's
Hour spelling mite decline,
And if we're lacks oar have a laps,
We wood bee maid too wine.

Butt now bee cause my spelling
Is checked with such grate flare,
Their are know fault's with in my cite,
Of nun eye am a wear.

Now spelling does knot phase me,
It does knot bring a tier.
My pay purrs awl due glad den
With wrapped word's fare as hear.

To rite with care is quite a feet
Of witch won should bee proud,
And wee mussed dew the best wee can,
Sew flaw's are knot aloud.

Sow ewe can sea why aye dew prays
Such soft wear four pea seas,
And why eye brake in two averse
Buy righting want too pleas.

Most often misspelled word on resumes? From viewing literally hundreds of thousands...it's MANGER instead of MANAGER. By far this is the most common resume mistake...what do you think is the most common resume issue?

Sorry, meant to change my header from the last post. I'll do better in the future!

Anyway, MANAGER is the most often misspelled word on resumes...often seen as MANGER.

Anyone have others they see as common?
