Can I make a generic plea for people to not rely on spell check to fix their resume?

I am currently looking for an Admin. Assistant, and I got a resume for an "Asministrative Assistant" whose past job duties included "Distributing Male". While I was throughly entertained (and tempted to send her number over to Senusret), she did not get a call for an interview.

Also, when you start sending out resumes PUT YOUR FACEBOOK ON PRIVATE - Ms. XYZ Sorority from ECU, I'm talking to you. And, telling me that you don't carry a purse because your husband carries your ID for you when you go out drinking isn't exactly a deal-breaker, but maybe not the best thing to tell the person who is interviewing you as an opening statement.
