I just realized I've been spelling a word wrong for years

The word is "remuneration". My spell check on MS Word just told me this and I confirmed this on a few online dictionaries.

And for DECADES, now I've been using the word "reNUMeration".

You can't imagine how dismayed I am to hear this.

:wtf:

2. Jeez, I've been using that word on job applications
No WONDER I'm unemployed.

BTW, "remuneration" means salary. Pay. Money. Moolah. Dinero.

So, it's kind of important.

Do you think Canuckistanian realizes we are trying to help him cut himself some slack? Or do you think he thinks we are creeps?

10. Maybe.
Looking for a job and then thinking that maybe you aren’t getting hired because you spelled a word wrong would be rough.

Just in case: Canuckistanian, chances are, no one else knew how to spell remuneration either.

12. I once worked for a Commander in the Navy who insisted on spelling "Tomorrow" "Tomarrow"....
...it always amazed me because I mean, it doesn't even look right. He had a PHD from the Naval Postgraduate School and everything.
