Resume Fail

I received a resume in the office as well as a cover letter with the most hilarious error I have ever beheld in all my days. To wit:

"The shear [sic] nature of the English major requires attention to detail." - Too bad the attention to detail has been diverted to topics other than how to spell English words.

She continues,

"I am very precise in my writing and this has filtered into every facet of my life." I don't know how anything can "filter" into anything, but I sure hope, for her sake, that such "very precise" writing is not pervading--or filtering into--every facet of her life.
