Why speling maters in bizness deelings

Just received paperwork relating to our mortgage.

The forms relate to an earlier phone conversation to ascertain key details.

"Please check and confirm the written details are correct", I'm instructed.

Amongst the details was the full title of my job.

Just to be certain I had been asked on the phone to spell out my work role.

Ok. That's easy. P-r-i-n-c-i-p-a-l    B-a-p-t-i-s-t    C-o-l-l-e-g-e

Got that? Principal Baptist College. Good.

So why am I now described as Principle Battist Collage…….?

Now a man of principle I believe myself to be

A battist sounds like the kind of person England need in their cricket team

And collage sounds more like arts and crafts than a form of theological education.

Oh and I am classified as my wife's wife – and she as my husband.

Glad we were asked to confirm and check.

Question – are they better at maths than spelling?

    If you google ‘battist collage’ you get the Irish Baptist College. Perhaps this explains it!

    Well I am employed as a Chaplain. I am amazed how many people including health care professionals think you spell it Chaplin.
    Makes me feel a right Charlie!
