Looking for a childcare worker:

Must have stable work history and a "love" for young children.

I DON'T THINK THAT MEANS WHAT YOU THINK IT MEANS.

Now, which fictional pedophilia icon to use?

Did they seriously put love in quotation marks? Because that's hilarious.

[wisdomeagle]

Seriously they did. I... geez. What did they think it was going to sound like!

[piperrhiannon.livejournal.com]

Maybe they thought if they just said "love" it would sound dirtier? I dunno. I really don't know.

The uniformed "think" quotes mean "emphasis". ;)

Ahahaha. Can we have someone grounded in reality do the proofreading now please?

[wisdomeagle]

Seriously. (I can't understand why all these employee-hunters don't, oh, use basic grammar in their jobpostings? It makes me facepalm mightily even when they aren't inadvertantly searching for pedophiles.)

I got so angry when I was looking for work last month and the ads had incorrect spelling and grammar - it would immediately make me not want to work for the company who would put themselves out into the world that way!

Facepalm indeed.

One of my application forms had a statement with a sentence not unlike that one today. In fairness the guy's first language wasn't English but even so. Made me *eyebrow*.

Not as funny as the time last week that I was so tired that I genuinely read an applicant's first name as 'Sodomy'. Which for a girl would have been doubly weird ... *g*

[wisdomeagle]

Ahahahahaha. Not a name you would consider for your nom de plume or for your!Huck, eh?

[raedbard.livejournal.com]

There's cruel and there's just WTF?? *g* That kind of thing probably builds character though ... ;)

Wow. That's a little wrong. Or a lot wrong. (Inappropriate quotation mark brigade to the rescue!)

Did you get a picture? The "Blog" of "Unnecessary" Quotation Marks (http://quotation-marks.blogspot.com/)

It was "online." But thank "you" for the link!

You're quite "welcome".

Ouch! That just reads as "dirty".
