Have you ever had a conversation where everything the other person said sounded wrong but didn’t know why? Simple, lack of grammatical correction and poor use of words. Grammar can do a lot for a person, good grammar can keep you your job and even save your life but bad grammar can do just the opposite. Communication is a big thing inside and out of the work place. Poor communication in the work place can make you seem less intelligent and less credible.
Everyone judge’s people based off your grammar because it lets others know where you’re from or what type of person you are. People who make grammatical errors are likely to make mistakes in the work place because they don’t take the time to pay attention to details or how specific things should sound when you speak. When people take the time to correct their grammar it makes them looks intelligent and seem more credible. Not only does poor grammar reflect badly on yourself but the company or employer that hired you, as well as the people who work for you or with you. When taking the time to use correct grammar, it usually shows a reader or listener respect, who wants to read an article or listen to a speaker with bad grammar.

Children were taught to speak in a proper manner and because they were taught to speak correctly they wrote in a proper way as well. As technology evolved and texting came more profound grammar was becoming a lost art. In Dana Goldstein’s article ,‘Why Kids Can’t Write’, she talks about what teachers are doing about grammar. The teachers are not doing much about the grammar issue in schools.
I do not totally agree, nor do I totally disagree, with the point about grammar that Kyle Wiens’ argues in his article. As an employer, Wiens has the right to make any of his potential employees write a grammar test and deny jobs to those with poor grammar. In my own experience, I notice that people who have poor grammar skills tend to be less meticulous in their work, just as Wiens suggests in the article. Good grammar is virtually paramount for businesses such as the ones owned by Wiens, which are heavily language based. As well, especially in the new millennium, quality workers and employees are becoming increasingly harder to find among the expanding, figurative sea of qualified post-secondary graduates. Thus, I agree with Wiens’ policy of making all of his potential employees write a grammar test. His policy seems like an effective way of determining the best possible people to hire.

We must be educated to communicate in a professional way. Mr. Kohn states in the article that his wife is a successful, well educated doctor, but that she tends to struggle with proper grammar. Although she probably is a wonderful physician it can sometimes come off as careless when someone in a position of authority makes simple grammar mistakes in conversation. These small grammatical mistakes can seem trivial, and everyone makes mistakes from time to time. Even so, numerous small mistakes can be very distracting to someone who is trying to listen. Everyone needs to take English (or the language of their country) to be professional.
Should good usage matter? This is tricky because it should not matter how proper people can speak as long as they do not sound "dumb as a rock" (if they are not) and they are able to perform their jobs well. Yet, we should not be running around saying sentences like "I ain't got no pen so I ain't gonna do my homework" because this is not even close to correct grammar which is my definition of what good usage really is.
Well I think that is wrong because all of the people that try there hardest and cant get the grammar down well but they may be able to do the job better than anyone you have. That’s like saying if a smart person passed the grammar test but does not know how to do the job at all than you would rather hire them because they know how to do grammar better… Know it should be if you do good on the test and you have a couple grammar errors then you should be fine impulse you already know how to do the job unlike the other person that actually did good but they don’t know how to do the job at

One’s career, school life, and even socializing are affected by communication. If you do not know how to communicate, you probably do not have many friends. Communication has been used since the days of the cavemen. When the cavemen learned to communicate they greatly increased their hunting potential. When they learned to communicate on the hunt and before the hunt, they caught much more game then when they were just randomly running after the animals with spears. In school, if teachers and students could not communicate well, how would anything ever get done? In a business, communication is the most important ingredient. Working at a corporation at a higher level, you deal with hundreds of important emails, meetings, phone calls, and other forms of communicating with your co-workers.

“DA-DA!” Who would have known that a simple word like that could be so powerful and strong enough to make a grown man like myself cry. In every job setting, a great way to represent ourselves is through communication. Communication is stemmed from the act of speech, in which plays a huge role, not only at a workplace but in reality as well. Speech is simply a higher form of communication between two or more people. Great speech practices may enhance a person’s opportunity of moving up within the company he or she works for, as well as venturing off to higher positions in a professional field. Having the ability to speak well is closely related to the ability to listen well. Speaking well in a professional setting can cause one to stand out over others more and help interpret a great first impression of who that person is.
