[QUOTE="Haowei, post: 44575, member: 9101"] I'm so annoyed with myself, I just realised that I made a spelling mistake in a few of my applications that I've already sent off. The word I wanted to use was "fictitious" because I was talking about negotiating on behalf of fictitious clients, instead I spelt it "fictious". The thing is that Microsoft Word didn't pick the mistake up as "fictious" is actually a word, meaning fictitious but it's archaic version of the word. I know that law firms really value attention to detail and some chuck applications straight in the bin if they spot any error, but nobody who I've shown my applications to have spotted this error (about 10 different people have read my apps). So I'm hoping that it will go unnoticed? I'm just really disappointed with myself because I worked so hard on these applications, it will be such a shame to be rejected for something so small. Has anyone else been through something similar? [/QUOTE]

Our company is called, "The Corporate ___ Academy". What is the missing word here?
