gobosox,

You’re right, looks like I misspelled ‘applicants’, but I swear I looked carefully at every word before posting, knowing how my own words would be scrutinized, and I DO know the correct spelling of that word, thank you very much.

Sometimes I think these stupid computers sense when someone is being critical – albeit constructively – and they throw in an error just to make that person look dumb. We’re in trouble if that’s happening…

But seriously, while I did draw notice to incorrect diction, I said nothing about spelling. And, by the way, it’s “…someone’s spelling or grammar…”, not “…someone…”

Now, I have carefully read and re-read this. If an error pops up after I post it, my suspicions will have been proved right!
