Wayyyyyy back in the before times, job applications could get tossed

for little things like spelling the name of one's street, school, previous employer, etc., incorrectly. In current times, I am appalled when reading actual, printed books where spelling and usage errors abound. I have actually contacted several publishing houses to enquire if they had fired their entire editorial staff. Two from a brief reading this morning were ascent when assent was meant, and vice when vise was correct. It HURTS!!!
