Re: Exact spelling of resume

Anonymous — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 22:50:53 GMT

The correct spelling is "rÃ©sumÃ©", as it is a noun deriving from the French verb "rÃ©sumer" (="summarise/-ize"). Hence, rÃ©sumÃ© = summary / summarised/-ized (masculine), i.e. a summary of one's professional life.

Hi guys,

Please could somebody verify whether the below is the correct spelling:

'Peer pressure'

I am referring to when people are pressured into things by other people e.g. working harder than they normally would.

Thanks in advance J

Since my previous setup for PowerBuilder [this seems to be the correct spelling] ~~10.5~~ version 10.5 was damaged, I need to ~~re-setup that~~ reinstall it [I assume that's what you mean? ("re-setup" is ugly, and in any case the verb is "set up", not "setup")] We can't find ~~out~~ the set of setup disks here. Can you please tell me ~~from~~ where I can access the setup disk source?

The reason that I need it in on my local machine is so we can have one more way to verify the codes (the PB objects) locally, in addition to ~~developing that within the machine~~ [not clear to me what this means] ~~- '10.1.1.51'?~~ [not clear to me what the significance of this version number is at this point in the email]

Thanks May. Peter, please help, could you? [not clear to me what you are asking Peter for, since "Thanks May" implies that it's May who will sort out the PowerBuilder issue]

~~Had~~ Have ~~the~~ your/our colleagues in at your site already migrated the report? What is its schedule?

The correct spelling is "ostiomeatal" when referring to the nose. Ostium is a passage in the nose and not referring to a bone.

Re: How to use dash, colon, semicolon ?

Thank you so much ! The website helps a lot ! Hmmm ... but ... the site said that dash can be used to emphasize on a point . Can it be use on any point? Does it have to be a sentence or can it be just a phrase ?

E.g .   But we managed to get out in time - I hoped .    (acceptable?)     <-- is this emphasizing on a point? Acceptable - and indicating a pause for effect when spoken

           She just stood there, not moving - at all - not until we move . (What about this?)      <-- a phrase ? If written as: not moving at all - not until we moved, then it is fine.
I think the use of the dash to emphasize a point is better shown as: There are several things to be considered - correct spelling, correct grammar, correct usage.

And .. and ! Colon and semi-colon . Is it apporiate to use in this way :

E.g . A few excellent ideas were thought out by our committee members: Ashley with the idea on holding an open house; John with the idea on printing booklets; and Jolin with the idea on giving a presentation.

Some website said that   " ; and " cannot be used together, they have to be changed to   " , and " , so I have to change it? And according to the website you suggested, it says that a semi-colon is used to separated sentence with commas . So the above sentence without commas is not acceptable?

That sentence is fine. It could be either semi-colon or comma. I see no reason why you canot use "and" after a semi-colon.

Sorry to ask so many question ! And thanks a lot ! ^^

Hi Neung,

I've made some corrections to your essay. Any corrections I made are now in red letters. If you have any questions about what I mean, or would like a more detailed explanation on why something was incorrect, please ask. We'll try to answer.

My name is Jeerapun Khunsopa and My (don't capitalize 'my') nickname is Nueng. I 'm 22 years old. I was born in Suphan Buri province and move (should be 'moved', since it's in the past) to Bangkok, ~~this is~~ (remove the words 'this is', and add a comma after Bangkok) a big city, (add another comma) with my family when I was nine years old. I graduated from Bangkapi school of fishing. My favorite websites are Google, Yahoo! <... some URLs removed by a mod.> I enjoy visiting tourists attractions and traveling. I also enjoy reading, going to movies and watching TV. I'm very interested in politics. I am following the presidential race in my county. I'm also interested in the global warming crisis and alternative sources of energy, such as solar and wind power. My dream job would be to run a successful Internet company that helped people. I have visited Cambodia,Cannada, (correct spelling is 'Canada', with only 1 'n') Hong kong, (capitalize 'k' in 'Kong') Laos and Mexico. I went to Chiang Mai on my last vacation. It was great! ~~and~~ (remove the word 'and' to avoid a sentence fragment) I do not have any pets, but I wish that I had a dog. My house does not allow pets. I have two brothers and one sister. If I won a million Baht, I would travel around the world. I would really like to visit Japan. My hight (correct spelling is 'height) is 173 and My weight is 64. My blood type is B and My (don't capitalize 'my') hobbies is ('hobbies' is plural, you need the plural verb 'are' instead) Listen (this should be 'listening' instead of 'listen, and don't capitalize it) to the radio, and (since there are only 2 hobbies, remove the comma and add the word 'and') read (this should be 'reading' instead of 'read') catoon. My address is Bangkapi

Neung, I think this was very good work for your first writting attempt. You did have a few very minor mistakes, but you still did quite well.

One more thing to remember, is that when you're typing things on the Internet, always put 2 spaces after a sentence, instead of one, to make them easier to read. This is a very minor thing, but it does make all writing a little easier to read, (even if it's written correctly!)

You got me this time. No. I was too lazy to look up the correct spelling. Thanks, Yoong Liat. Now I know how it is read. :)

Your colleagues or someone who knows your work may understand your sentences better. I can't comment or I'll change the intended meanings.

If you are interested in the correct spelling, you can refer to the dictionary.

Re: what is per say or per your request?

Grammar Geek — Wed, 21 May 2008 17:16:02 GMT

If you look for "per se" (the correct spelling) in these forums, you'll find a lot of information on that one.

"Per your request" just means "As you requested."

Per your request, I have reserved a room for you the nights of May 23 and 24."

While walking aimlessly on the street in Chayenne, an image of her long-lost boyfriend flashed by in front of Amy.

This sounds as if the image was walking aimlessly on the street. How about something like, "As Amy walked aimlessly on the street in Cheyenne, an image of her long-lost boyfriend flashed by in front of her."

Also, if this is Cheyenne, Wyoming, note the correct spelling.
