- jasode 10y agoI'm anti-snob but I do like it when publications write "résumé" instead of "resume" for a job seeker's summary. Those extra accent marks make it much more readable. Without them, I always mentally pronounce "employe resume" as "employee rezoom" and then backtrack to correct myself to pronounce it as "employee rayzoomay".
