You’re right, he could have just said “daily.” he could have also used “like” instead of “similar,” Phrases like this get hooked into the subconscious and fall out onto the page without any consideration as to their real relevance. WordPress checks my grammar before I post and it tells me I write in the passive voice too much! It’s just my style, I guess. Thank you for your input.

I’m just curious: why do you say, “I see letters similar to this on a daily basis,” instead of “I see letters similar to this every day” (or “daily”)? I cannot understand the point of that expression, “on a daily basis.”

It would depend on the rest of the content. I wouldn’t automatically skip the rest of the cover letter or resume.

What do you think of the use of phonetically spelled initials? Would you get it, or declare, ‘get a real email address’…? Just curious.

I almost wish you *had* sent this back. It may have stung a bit, but some people just do not have cover letter/resume skills, and don’t realize how important they are. This is awful – and clearly a form letter that she sends in with every resume, considering she couldn’t even take the time to use your name from the ad…

Oh, I wholeheartedly agree that we should lighten up on those who can’t spell or use grammar properly! In fact, why don’t we just eliminate proper use of language entirely? If we can forgive the dozen or so mistakes in the cover letter highlighted in this blog post, let’s forgive them all! Everywhere! All the time!

Yes, indeedy! Let us be forgiving of those who couldn't be bothered to pay attention in grade school while the rest of us did! Let's give them the free ride we never had!

Good? Yes?

lulz.
