I used to think this too, till I got into a debate with a high-brow psychiatrist. He said, “Don’t believe me? Look it up.” I looked it up (Webster’s collegiate):---
cur-ric-u-lum vi-tae: a short account of one’s career and qualifications prepared typically by an applicant for a position.
Curriculum vita is nowhere to be found. But you can find it if you do look up vita alone, it says:
vi-ta: 1. a brief biological sketch 2: CURRICULUM VITAE
Apparently, one can use vita alone, or curriculum vitae, but not curriculum vita.

And practically everyone has Curriculum Vitae at the top of their CV - Are they cats with nine lives? This is such a pervasive error that I am seriously considering changing mine so that it's wrong. Knowing I've written it right is cold comfort when you worry that your vita will end up in the circular file because everyone is disgusted by your careless typo.
