British, Canadian and American English

1. Don't know about Canada, but in America I've only heard curriculum vitae used in academic (like university) contexts, otherwise it's usually "resume" (with, if you're going to be very correct, an accent over the second e, so it's pronounced "rez-uh-may' ").

This is a trick question. There is NO English spoken in America.

Americans are likely to say résumé rather than CV, as Monterey Jack noted. Canadians are more likely to say CV, although, living cheek by jowl with the Americans, they are not unfamiliar with résumé. It should not be assumed that Americans and Canadians spell or pronounce words in the same way, nor that they use identical vocabularies. The Canadians spell words as the English do, and they pronounce some words in the fashion of the English, and some words in the fashion of the Americans. Many pronunciations are uniquely Canadian.

Not all Australians, by the way, are great braying jackasses such as Stillwater is.

Ooooooooh. Ouch! Harsh words, Set-man!!!

For the record, we call them 'donkeys'. Snap!!!

True, dat.

No jack-asses here.

High five!

We use CV in legal cases and the Canadians often use "Bio" as a term or previous professional experience,service and employment.

You mean Stillwater left?

what the hell you doin up so damn early?

Pondscum to you.

I was thinkin' about askin' you the same damned thing.

The girl dog decided to creep downstairs to try to snack on garbage, but the boy dog busted her by barking. I've been trying to get sleepy again ever since i came downstairs to attempt to sort out the rucus. When i got downstairs, there was a mouse attempting to forage in one of the canvas bags in the kitchen, so i quickly folded the top over, took the little perisher outside, and tossed him in the snow. He made a horrible error, and headed away from the house. I'm hoping he freezes to death before he makes it back inside. However, tromping around in the snow in my skivvies and bare feet pretty well woke me right up.

JEEZUS, Now that picture will stay with me for the entire day

Awwww...it's nice that you care about the poor little mouse so much.

HEY, I had a really bitchy morning and I didnt need the picture of set running around in the Great North like some Dukabor.

There, there...settle down. Don't you be all a conniptioning of yerself.

Have a nice carrot juice.

Anyhoo, he probably looked mighty fetching.

Take a walk on the wild side, Farmerperson....you might enjoy it....

An anxious world awaits your responses.

Don't we need a Brit to answer that?

Speaking as a central Canajun, I've never heard the bio terminology used for c.v./curriculum vitae/resume. Traditionally, c.v. is used when referring to academics, and resume is used when referring to similar documents for non-academics. We rarely use the term curriculum vitae. A resume doesn't look like a c.v. A resume is usually about 1/5th the length of a c.v.
