Pursing Carrer
  

  
Which only can mean ...

• Parsing: working out the meaning of a text, for instance Chaucer's "The Parson's Tale".
    
• Pursing (1): what a purser does on a ship, handling paperwork and entertainment.
    
• Pursing (2): making women's purses, like a glover makes gloves, but with lots more room.
    
• Pursing (3): sticking out one's lips, purselike.
     Pursuing: chasing something that recedes into the distance.
    

Thus, pursing or pursuing (or even Parsoning) a goal or status such as ...

• Carrere: Tia Carrere, an actress.
    
• Carrera: Asia Carrera, another actress.
    
• Carrier: a common carrier, like FedEx, but more common, i.e., they lost your purse.
    
• Career: an out-of-control common plunge, as when you throw your purse off a bridge.
    
• Carrer: a caring person (or Purser on a common carrier);
  one who cares better than he spells.
    

We send our good wishes in the pursing of carrer, and even to pursuing career or careers, however distant; but not to extend to spelling reform.
