There is no "T" in Bachelor!

I am just having a rant about people who don't use spell check before they send off their CV's. We did a search on our DB the other day and out of 5000 records 30% of people had put a "t" in the word bachelor. I say to them if you have a Bachelor qualification get it out and look at it before you send in your CV!
