Role Model

The future's here (see comments a few posts back) and The Apprentice is revealed. And what a terrible example of a winner. Not because he is illiterate. Not because he can't string a sentence together. Not because he bullied a woman. Not even because his motivating exercise is to squawk like a pterodactyl.

No, because he couldn't even be bothered to use a spell checker.

Never watched an episode, but I know that the one Oliver wanted to win was the eventual winner. There is no excuse any more for bad spelling. It's a prime example of falling standards.

P.S. Am I getting old?

Nah, he was the one I wanted to win as well. But Oli agreed, he didn't deserve it in the end. The bad spelling was "unfahgivabel"

More to the point - he lied on his cv by saying he had been in colleage for 2 years whereas it was only 4 months. I have just had a letter published in People Management (Leading UK HR Professional body mag)on this. In my world inventing 20 months at colleage is worse than not being able to spell. Although it does suggest the question of whether his spelling might have improved had he stayed the course?!
