Here's the title of a posting to a computer-related discussion list on the Internet:

High School Student Pursing Carrer

Which only can mean ...

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

 
 Thus, pursing or pursuing (or even Parsoning) 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.
