Hi Alex,

It depends how you allow the end users to do the tagging - if it is free text,
then quite frankly, you deserve what you get. It can be as controlled as you
like  if you provide them with a bunch of checkboxes populated with CV terms
and make them submit non-preferreds for addition separately.

Just a thought :)

Cheers, Andrew
