nyrisa -> RE: Spelling in profiles... (7/16/2007 6:27:57 PM)

My husband is one of the most intelligent folks I know, was a member of the honor society all during high school, has risen to management in his occupation, as well as having held several elected offices. All this despite having a learning disability which causes him to spell at about the level of a third grader, even though his verbal and writing skills are very advanced. Thanks to the spell check feature on his computer, and the fact that he often has me look over his papers for grammar or usage errors, he maintains a high standard in the paper work he turns in.
Any fairly educated person who takes the trouble can write a decent profile. If I see many errors, it leads me to several negative conclusions about the person. A well written profile does not automatically mean a good person behind it, but it leads to favorable impressions that will increase the chances of further contact.
There are quite a few free online spell checker sites, which allow you to copy and paste your text and check for errors. Here is one that I just used, and it took about 2 seconds, total.
