It is perfectly acceptable. Bear already posted a couple CANADIAN dictionaries that disagreed with the one you mentioned. So, as even the dictionaries cannot agree, it is NOT fact.
It also depends on where the company comes from which prints those dictionaries.
And apparently you didn't read what Bear said his boys' dictionaries said, Mr. Professional.
I personally don't care what a dictionary says..... what matters to me is what is required in my industry.
Right, but resumes are not the be all to end all.
For some it is.
Yup, and I choose to rely on the OED, it being the definitive word on the English language, rather than relying on the word of some "professional" who seems to make loads of mistakes himself.
Once again.... typing something on one's own time is completely different them being paid to spell something right.
One would think you'd give up on this poor argument.... it's not helping you any.
Yup. And the OED is a more reliable arsehole than you. lol
Depends on if you are using the Oxford English Dictionary or the Canadian Oxford English Dictionary..... if you're not using the Canadian one, then that's where you're going wrong..... but I already explained this to you back on page one.
I need to get over myself. uhuh :roll:
Indeed you do.
The spelling is official? The gov't has actually declared that the official spelling for "center" is "centre"? Like the official game is lacrosse? The official animal is the beaver? Show us the document that says that please.
American and British English spelling differences - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
^ In particular the re/er section:
"Commonwealth usage.[50] The -re endings are mostly standard throughout the Commonwealth. The -er spellings are recognised as minor variants in Canada, due in part to American influences. Proper names, particularly names incorporating the word centre/center, are an occasional source of exceptions, such as, for example, Toronto's controversially-named Centerpoint Mall. However, -re generally prevails in Canada."
While er is tolerated in this country, re is the standard.
Besides hundreds of other references online as well as countless historical references connecting Canadian English with British English..... if you ever bothered to properly educated yourself before, you'd know what I am saying is true.... but since you already admitted your English Teachers growing up were slack asses who apparently didn't care how you actually spelled things, I'm not surprised you wouldn't know.
And judging by some of your posts, you are no more a professional than Bear or me. So what?
The difference is that I am not judging your abilities based on your spelling and/or grammar in these forums..... I never once judged people based on their spelling on online forums, because it never mattered..... what matters is the point being made.
But once again.... when you are being paid to spell something, I'd expect spelling to be correct, otherwise why would I be wasting my money?
Since I am not being paid to post in here, I don't give a rats ass about my spelling, nor do I care about your spelling.
According to you, that's what the evidence and facts are.
No, according to everything outside of your little limited world, they are.
Same reason you are "wasting" your time posting these looooooong winded diatribes at the readers, I guess. For me it's light-minded entertainment.
It too is entertainment for me, however it never hurts to educate people at the same time.... and if you or others are going to spout of incorrect information or brag on about things you know nothing about, I have no issue correcting you.
.... at length. But I suppose it never occurred to you that they did the sign exactly the way the gov't intended them to do it?
Since I work for the same government and work on the exact same signs, and I know their graphical standards..... no... someone screwed up.
4.1 Signage: System overview and implementation
^ Here's one of the many graphic standards supplied for signs for the Government of Canada.... scroll all the way to the very bottom and tell me what they use.
Do they use Centre or Center?
The thing you need to know about Corporate Identity and Graphic Standards is that they are designed as the
Rule for the company and anybody working for the company. How they word something, how they lay something out.... everything applied in a company's standards must be adhered to.... you may think it's anal and picky, but this is the way it is.
And if you don't like it, then how about you go and bitch to someone you think can change this, because this is how it's done pretty much all around the world when it comes to these type of Standards.
If you want to actually debate this in an educated manner, I'd suggest you read through the entire link I just provided because it clearly explains how Standards work and why they are used.
It's the French way of spelling it.
Well until I have to do signage for a French Hospital.......
Like I said, perhaps the gov't wanted the sign that way. But as a "professional", you'd probably "correct" it for them, right? roflmao
Once again Mr. Ignorant, refer to the above link.
Nope. I'm right. You deal with it. lol
I am not the one who has to deal with it.
and "Canadian Forces Recruitment Center" isn't? roflmao
No
And Barq's is a department of Coke, not an identity.roflmao It wouldn't be as much fun as poking holes in your little hypotheses, but thanks.
No, Barq's is a Brand/Product of Coca Cola, which also falls under the same standards as a logo/corporate identity... since I did work for Coca Cola in my previous job and currently do work for Pepsi and The Pepsi Bottling Group Inc. I know more about this then you do.
By all means, keep jamming that foot in your mouth.
Yeah, but Machjo said sloppy is as sloppy does.
Want a cracker?
... and I'll keep laughing.
BTW, you have toilet paper hanging out your pants. But that's not why I'm laughing.
Yeah, but Machjo said sloppy is as sloppy does.

Or more specifically, if you can't get it right in one circumstance, it reflects in all the others.
.... according to you. lmao
..... according to you.
Oh, BTW, it's "Defense", not "Defence".
Proof?
I was an employer. I didn't have hundreds of employees' resumes. Why are you assuming that employers have hundreds of employees' resumes? Some have thousands, some have dozens.
Yeah. There is the odd employer that prefers written resumes, though. I think it might be so they can get handwriting analyses of the applicants.
First impressions are everything? roflmao I think you may have a point here and it's likely why Canadian society is screwed up. It prefers appearances over the things that really should matter.
Yeah, but Machjo said sloppy is as sloppy does.
Yeah, but Machjo said sloppy is as sloppy does.
Okay, Sir Joey.
...according to you. lmao

And I suppose you're going to claim to be a "professional" at reality, too. roflmao
Didja know the Christian god claims itself to be the only god and that it had the Bible written to prove it?

Maybe you should write a book proclaiming yourself to be a professional.
Sloppy is as sloppy does huh?
With all those lame internet Acronyms and initialisms, you're certainly one to talk.
And depending on what one is referring to, it is indeed Defence.
Go ahead and google
"Department of National Defence" and tell me what pops up. :roll:
I'm done proving you wrong.... if you can't get it by now, you never will.
