Curriculum Vitae
or what the French call a résumé

There is also cheval vapeur which is the French way of measuring power, where we would use HorsePower or HP.

I always associate CV for resume as the international version. In England they always say CV and even in some circles in the US. I call it CV

I came here to say "control voltage". I guess this isn't TalkSynth.

I remember CV / gate

CV = 105 in Roman Numerals, now take the release year of the Squier Classic vibe 2008, substract 105, you get 1903, The year Topsy the elephant was electrocuted, he was owned by the Forepaugh circus whose owner Adam Forepaugh was the creator of the first America wide 'Beauty pageant' which turned into Ms. America which was of course owned by Trump who WAS a friend of Jeffrey Epstein which is why even back in 2008, Fender already knew that JEFFREY EPSTEIN DIDN'T KILL HIMSELF ... although he was alive then ... or was he ? Soros funded Seth Rich murderers who wanted Hillary to become president resurrected him thanks to a Bilderberg magic spell in a Pizza joint ...

Which is why Cv stands for Custom Vibe ...

Or what the average English speaker calls a resume.

You prefer the vibe of the classic Classic Vibes?

Yes, especially the Inca Silver, James Johnston CVs and those from a few years back.
Why Squier let the quality slip is beyond me.

Here's two CVs together as one, so to speak.

True, almost everyone spells it incorrectly & pronounce it incorrectly as well.

In English it is correct to spell it as résumé or resume, that is with all of the original accents or with none (pronunciation is the same either way), but it's incorrect to spell it with only one of the accents, so the people in my office who keep spelling it resumé are wrong.

 

[Killed_by_Death]

They're also pronouncing it incorrectly, which is the root of why they spell it incorrectly.

A couple of different brands use "CV" in the name of their bass models (Schecter, Squier, others?). What does "CV" stand for? I'm guessing that the "V" is for "vintage" but have no idea what the "C" stands for. Thanks.

Can’t verify.

True, almost everyone spells it incorrectly & pronounce it incorrectly as well.
Do they spell it correctly in Central & South America?

Maybe there is a joke behind i'm not getting? don't know man!

 

[Killed_by_Death]

There are three kinds of Americans: North, Central, & South

Canadians are also North Americans.

My understanding is that resume, résumé, and resumé are all acceptable variants of one another and only résume is incorrect. I don’t know if your officemates are a bunch of dingbats or but I think they are not wrong in this instance.

 

[Gianni "Orlandez" Orlati]

Let’s call it “Curriculum Vitae” in the Latin way .. there’s only this way to write it .. ah, sorry, didn’t read all previous posts but I suspect this “résumé” thing may come from somebody stating that “CV” = “Curriculum Vitae”, so, ehm ... sorry

Looks like your guess is correct for Schecter. No idea what the C stands for, if anything. Here's what they say about it:

Introducing the CV Series, a vintage/modern Rock n’ Roll design using the C bass shape with a flat top, vintage radius, and elbow/waist contours. Versatility was the fundamental goal of design. With basses, tone can cross over into any genre as long as your instrument has the versatility, and this bass does! The 3-Way Series-Split-Parallel switch for each pickup allows you to change your CV into 3 different sounding basses, while the use of the blend pot can dive even deeper into more tones. Simplicity was an element. Master Volume, Master Tone, and the 3-Way Toggle lets you get to the point quickly without fussing around with active EQ’s. Dial in the pickup position and you're off!

I think you posted it for us...? C for C-shape - V for Vintage... or were you being facetious?

I think you posted it for us...? C for C-shape - V for Vintage... or were you being facetious?

Sorry, no, not trying to be facetious. I saw that the C stands for C-shape, but that comes from another Schecter model, the C-4 and C-5, and I meant that I don't know whether Schecter has a full name for that model, or if the letter alone is the name.
