This is a question Lies I told on my CV

I've not had to lie on my CV (resumé for all you 'merkins) for a while, but way back when I was a teenager and C was a cool programming language, I listed it as one of my skills.

My new boss was remarkably nice about me spending my first week's employment reading a "how to program in C" book.

It's not a lie if you lie for somebody else. It's compassion.
To this day, my friend's employers think she's capable of writing fluently- utilising punctuation in a manner fitting to her education and spelling English words with a grasp that shows a thorough knowledge of English, the language she's been speaking for 23 years.

What they don't know is that (inevitably the night before) CaptMuggins is sat not only retyping the bastard thing, but also explaining why she's just had to.
