Simone just told Dustin that he needs to edit his new résumé. He’s written “fanatical attention to detail” twice.

I didn’t know that “fanatical attention to detail” is work-speak. Here, take a look at DuckDuckGo’s search results.

As for detail, and fanatical attention to it: Dustin spells it resume. Garner’s Modern English Usage says résumé (“So spelled, preferably.”) Merriam-Webster has resume and resumé only as variants. Determining whether the Dustin font has the accented characters required for résumé would require a fanatical attention to detail I’m not prepared to offer.
