2011-11-29, Resume vs. Résumé vs. Resumé vs. CV


If you need a good laugh, try on this Pain in the English thread on the topic of resume vs. résumé vs. resumé vs. CV (curriculum vitae):http://painintheenglish.com/case/193
 . It's absolutely hilarious.

BTW, I don't give a hoot how you accent "resume" in English or whether you know the difference between a resume and CV, unless you're applying for a job as an English professor or medical doctor, where resumes and CVs really are two different things. But don't you dare, by gosh, write a mathematical derivative in the dy/dt (Leibniz-ian) notation instead of the *obviously* correct and vastly superior y-dot (Newtonian) notation. ;^) *shakes head*

You may now resume writing your resume, although to do it you may have to wind your way through a maze into a strong head wind. :^) Just lead me to the lead mine, please!
