When I saw this I started thinking of a similar situation I ended up in last year when I was looking for a summer internship. I had sent in an e-mail inquiring about working for a smaller publishing house in New York and received back an e-mail so riddled in errors that I crossed that house off my prospects list immediately. What's crazy is that in this case the error went the other way around, and it was the publisher that failed, not the applicant.

When I was applying for internships last year there was a lot of stories floating around about people who put the wrong company name on the cover letter, etc. Makes you wonder about the merits of a university education...
Still, it's always reassuring to know that you're smarter than at least one person out there! :)

I'm always worried about doing something like that myself. I'm not as detail oriented as I would like to be, and little things sometimes slip through the cracks. It would be horrible to be rejected because I ended up sending the wrong resume to the wrong company, for example.
