Bad Grammar Acceptable When Applying for Lolcats Job
The normal rules of proper grammar and spelling may not apply when applying to at I Can Has Cheezburger says this article in the Sydney Morning Herald.
"I can haz dream Job? My rezumez! let me showz u thm"
That's the subject line of a cover letter sent by a job applicant to I Can Has Cheezburger, one of the premier sites for so-called Lolcat pictures.
Don't think the letter will be rejected out of hand - bad spelling is no obstacle to a job in Lolcat world. It may even be an asset.
Lolcats became an internet craze last year. According to Wikipedia, a Lolcat is an image combining a photograph of an animal, most frequently a cat, with a humorous and idiosyncratic caption in (often) broken English - a dialect which is known as "Kitty Pidgin", "lolspeak", or Lolcat.
Sometimes it is ok to be different in your resume. Obviously you wouldn't want to do this when applying for the vast majority of jobs available today. If you don't have a resume the I Can Has Cheezburger website says, "No resume? No problem. Recreating Tetris using lolcode may also get you the job."
