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 £40 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. |
