Today, I finished doing a resume that I had spent three hours on. I e-mailed it to the business I was applying for, satisfied. I decided to look it over. The first thing I notice, I spelt my own name wrong. FML

That's why you look it over BEFORE sending it. Sorry, but YDI.

It's a spell checker, not a fish checker. A spelt is a type of fish. No resume should take three hours, unless you can't type or are making everything up. Either way, I'd go with my briefcase was stolen on the subway...

Spelt is valid, as is whilst and learnt and all manner of other variant spellings. They're chiefly British, but can be found in use in the US. Americans, do try to remember that you are not the only ones that speak the language, that you were not the first to speak the language, and your particular version of the language is not the only valid one, and that even within your own country the language has many different variations. And above all, please try to act a little less like the stereotype so much of the rest of the world has for your country: the "willfully-ignorant American".

for all the people who think "spelt" is not a word...I'm a Brit living in the US and spelt is most definitely a word. It's also not just used in Britain - it's used in the US, also.

"Spelt" may be an acutal word but it sounds really low class, if I were interviewing you, and you use the word spelt, I wouldn't hire you. "Y'all, I spelt all the words I good"

If you went to another country where they spoke Standard English and you used the word 'spelled' you probably would not get hired. 'Spelled' is American English not Standard English.
