I can't add the skill "Ada" to my skills list, because
it isn't on the list. There is an "ADA", but that is
not it. 

If by "ADA" you meant the programming language "Ada",
then it is miscapitalized. The language was named after
a person, and is not an acronym. This is just as wrong
as calling Java "JAVA". It needs to be fixed everywhere
it appears.

This may seem like a trivial typo issue, but to Ada
developers it is a big deal. For whatever reason, many
Ada developers actually feel insulted when this mistake
is made in their presence. Personally, I won't be
adding it to my skill set until the problem is fixed.
