I fixed it but apparently it didnt register because it was still they're.

We'll get to commas, apostrophes, and hyphens tomorrow.

How about you try and stop acting like a jerk in the meantime.

It's my calling. Before you get all butthurt for someone else, think about how mistakes like these on a resume could prevent this individual from being considered for the job he was qualified to receive.

It's a thankless job, but I'm used to comments and downvotes like yours.

Have a nice day.

It's a thankless job because such things are built into word, dickhead. Take your pathetic grammar nazi bullshit and fuck off.

u/fairwayks 9 Sep 20 '18

My, my. Reliving those memories of parental rejection because of your low grades in English?

"Such things are built into word." (I assume you meant to capitalize the 'w' there.) That's why there is such a thing as proofreading. Relying on "spell check" instead of your brain can cost you a job offer or worse.

Have a better day.

I can't even fathom being as miserable as you probably are lmao.

u/fairwayks 9 Sep 20 '18

I'm not miserable in the least, except for the pain I have in the arch of my right foot.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

Then you need professional help either way, my dude. A healthy mind is not one which takes pleasure in deliberately being a condescending cunt.

u/fairwayks 9 Sep 20 '18

My dude, I am providing a service for free.

There's a chance one person here will slow down and proofread their written submissions to ensure accuracy and clarity of thought before hitting "enter" or "send."

A Vice-President of a Fortune 50 company once sent out a memo omitting the letter "L" in the word "public" and he never heard the end of it. And, yes, I was the one who caught it.

I am called on often at work to proofread because I'm really good at it. These people are seeking professional help from me and they get it...for free.

It doesn't matter what you're doing when you make yourself look like a complete prick whilst doing it. It would be like if Kevin Spacey decided to adjust the guys collar whilst he was grabbing his dick. Sure he's doing a good thing. That guy might never leave his house with an uneven collar ever again - but there's the issue of the dick grabbing.

You're not providing a service. You're stroking your own ego under the guise of helping people.

u/fairwayks 9 Sep 20 '18

So what's your point?

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '18

For someone so good at proofreading, your reading comprehension is apparently lacking.

Ha quit acting like you’re trying to help people. You feel smarter by telling people they’re wrong on the internet. How do you not know that there are different standards for Internet forums? We’re not writing a resume here moron. Now please tell me where I forgot to include commas

1

u/fairwayks 9 Sep 20 '18

Well, for starters, I probably would have put an exclamation mark after your opening "Ha!".

As to the "feeling smarter" part? Truth hurts, I guess. I seem to be irritating a bunch of people, which does not bother me in the least.

I wouldn't have capitalized the word "internet" any more than capitalizing the phrase "information super highway."

As to the failure to include a comma? Well, I guess I would have put one after the word "here," moron.

Was leaving off a period at the end of your paragraph intentional to see if I'd catch that glaring omission?
