I quite like this:

Sad they missed Ide's student debt

Pretty misleading headline.

There is no secondary market for student debt.

How is the headline misleading?

Your repetition and overuse of the  smiley makes me begin to wonder if you and derspiess didn't suddenly become one being or something, like a Teabagger version of the end of Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

Maybe he's just a moron?  Why immediately jump to the worst possible conclusion?

That's what Seedy does. But, he's not a moron.

Does anyone know, what is is 'LOM'?
I saw on a job ad- Please send your resume and LOM.
Is it American for cover letter?

"Letter of Motivation"

And no, we typically would say cover letter.

"Letter of Motivation" sounds as pretentiously European as using "C.V." outside of academia.

Same here: "Motivationsschreiben"

You will hear "CV" thrown around more often these days (I doubt most people know what it stands for), but "Lebenslauf" is still the more common word for it.

Eh, using French is no less pretentious than using Latin.

Résumé sounds far more pretentious than see-vee. If people said the full curriculum vitae than that would be a different matter.

[Grey Fox]

In Quebec, it's C.V.

Using résumé makes no sense, it's a verb, not a noun.

Resume is in so much common practice in the US, half these mutts wouldn't know it was French.  And saying curriculum vitae is much more pretentious.

Most people (even a lot of educated folks I'd wager) have no idea thats what CV stands for.
A CV is just a CV.

It's just whatever you're used to.
