Having been on the receiving end of resumes, writers don't always
get it right; I have been appalled at some, so HR has some right
to think they can spell better.

I have been guilty ... I once sent a cover letter for a
copywriting position that launched off with "I have strong
experience copyrighting..."

Doh! Guess what, didn't get that job!

Keeps me humble :-)
