The dash marks a different title. They will see that (and do see that)

A comma looks like it's just a location. You keep ignoring the point: What if they don't know BYU is located in Utah?

Then they are decieved, and it is the resume writer's fault.

But a different title "Brigham Young University - Idaho, Rexburg, ID" is clearly identifying a different campus.

But what if you left it without multiple choice?

The Dark Knight

5/29/19 11:39am

without the multiple choice you wouldn't know he went to Loyola, Baltimore? huh?

I would have assumed that's the only LMU I know
