mute point

I got an email from a local headhunter this weekend (I'm thinking because an old resume is still posted on Career Builder) saying "We found your resume on Career Builder and we may have a position that might fit" and giving no more information other than asking for an updated resume from me.

Now, I'm not looking for a new job as I'm happy where I'm at and emailed him back that I don't have an updated resume but if he sent me some info about whatever he had I'd be willing to look at it. He then emailed me back and wrote "It may be a mute poit as the position may have been filled."

Now I know that email is a conversational medium and typos are inevitable, so I let this slide and emailed him back saying "No problem. Thanks for the update..." because as I said before I'm not really interested in new jobs.

An hour later I get an email from him saying "Well I just found out it might not be mute." At this point I can no longer take it, as he thinks that "mute" is in fact that correct term for what he's trying to describe, which apparently is a job that may or may not be utterly devoid of sound. Who wants a job like that? Not me, so I guess this entire thing is moot.
