I still find it amusing that some people rely on Thesaurus's to come up with words for the resume...

But, now... those reading the resume need to rely on the thesaurus to decode the resume

All of this made possible by the ridiculousness that is the english language.

Sounds good to me. Personally, I'd eradicate the company I work for.

He went too far in the Thesaurus and grabbed an antonym. Tell him his resume is very injudicious.

 

[pennylane]

Thanks for the heads up. I'll take note of this.

haha. that's great. you should reply back to them telling them the synonyms for "extenuate." that'll teach them to stop writing some "big word" that just sounds good but is really an awful choice.

That's what I thought. Hooked on Phonics can still mess you up in English, Spanish no problem.

accentuate doesn't seem like a good word to use either... you accentuate a point.. not a company

 

[FoBoT]

not a good word, but better than "i'll cripple your company"
