Why learn grammar?

Others make assumptions about your intelligence, education and capabilities based on your correspondence.

Poor grammar may be damaging your business. A third of those questioned said they would not do business with companies using poor spelling or grammar. (In the US, lost revenue through bad writing is estimated at over $200 billion a year. In the UK, the Royal Mail states that poor written correspondence costs business Ł40 billion a year in lost sales.)

For those studying - poor writing skills affect exam grades.

For those in work - grammar errors make a poor impression and affect promotion prospects.

On the other hand, the right choice of words pinned to grammatically sound sentence structures can send a very positive message about your business acumen and capabilities.
