Ingineer? Really? (was: Smarter: Google or LinkedIn? Principle Engineer: Auugggh! Fix It! No such title! , etc...)

Oh no...  Really?  I saw someone list himself as an "Ingineer"

Aughhhhhhh...   See comment below about "Priniciple Engineer", which is also not a real title you should use in your resume...

Further proof that Google/Gmail is smarter than LinkedIn:

Did you mean: principal engineer no such title
LinkedIn:
Looking for Principle Engineer candidates? Post your Principle Engineer job on LinkedIn.


Also, it's now up to 9100+ current or former "Principle Engineer"s in my LinkedIn!   Double Auuggh!

What it says to me when I see "Principle Engineer" on a resume:
"Not only am I an engineer that cannot spell, I also cannot spell even when it truly matters"   :-)

6,300 People in my LInkedIn network *can* be wrong... (you might see fewer):


prin·ci·ple/ˈprinsəpəl/Noun


1. A fundamental truth or proposition that serves as the foundation for a system of belief or behavior or for a chain of reasoning.
2. A rule or belief governing one's personal behavior.
