Development Chaos Theory

Just saw a résumé cross my desk today, with “JavaScript” spelled “JAVA Scripts.” (Yes, from the context of the sentence, the guy was clearly referring to JavaScript.)

Naturally I bounced it.

I’m a terrible speller. My english skills are at best “okay.” But come-on: if you’re going to send off a résumé to impress a hiring manager in order to get a higher-paying job, at least spell the damned technology correctly!

   Fair warning: if I ever send you a résumé, it will be spelled ‘resume’.

   I tossed in all those ‘é’s because when I see “resume” I think “re-sume” like “pause/resume”, not “res-u-me”. Dyslexia is fun for the whole family!
