My apologize

[Titchou]

Quoted for posterity....so it's there even if you delete your original post.

And, FWIW, I am not trying to be snarky with this next statement. I am trying to be helpful. Please be sure someone with an excellent grammar background proofs your daughter's resume and cover letter to the rec writers. It doesn't appear to be your strong suit.

This, and just to add in some respects this is good prep for post graduate life in putting a resume and cover letter together to prepare to go out into the work force. As someone who is in the position of reviewing resumes and evaluating them to bring people in for interviews I can tell you that there are people who I have passed over due to typos/poor grammar. Shows a lack of attention to detail.

Best of luck to your daughter and I hope she has a positive experience.

Are there any comments on andthen's grammar and punctuation skills, anyone?

To the OP, your apology was gracious.

If you weren't trying to be snarky, you could have sent it as a private message.

I considered that. However, I've found that often veers off into discussions that are not as civilized as public ones - hence my addition of the disclaimer. I truly was trying to help as it seems they aren't talking with many others outside of GC.
