Topic: To 90% of the writers on the internet.

A typo is simply an innocent typing mistake, often made when something is written in haste. A typo doesn't fucking include a factual mistake or whatever. Please learn what a fucking typo is, instead of labeling anything incorrect, a typo.

A message to 90% of the writers on the internet:

No one cares about whatever it is you're talking about.  Beyond that, if you are writing something that someone, somewhere might actually care about for once, please link directly to the source rather then through another useless blog.

Change that 90 to 99.9%.

Yea pretty much.

Hehe a lot of people generally misuse certain terminology.. Like people who misuse words like "idea" and "concept" etc. The big one here in the UAE is "Resumé" and "Curriculum Vitae."

What is the difference?

A C.V. is a lot more in depth.  I've never head of someone needing one in North America except for a position in a university, but I imagine executives might throw them around.

I do believe, however, that they are all the rage in some parts of Europe (and maybe the UAE?) though.

Sort of. A Curriculum Vitae, as its Latin name suggests, is a complete listing of all your works in life. Any experience you've had at all. In Canada, just like Scott said, I had never heard of anyone needing except for certain positions in universities. In some places in Europe they're required for relatively more common jobs.

Here in the UAE when they say CV they actually mean resumé. The difference being that a CV can be as long as necessary to list everything you've accomplished but a resumé should only list the experience relevant to the job you're applying for and ideally should not exceed 2 pages at the most. Basically a resumé's objective is to score an interview, but a CV is a more like a technical history of all your professional (or otherwise relevant) experience.
