In the article “I Won't Hire People Who Use Poor Grammar. Heres why.” by Kyle Wiens states that Wiens has employes take a grammar test before being able to work at either of his companies because Wiens believes it is essential to working any job. Wiens uses many different ways to build an argument. In the article titled “I won't hire people who have poor grammar here's why” bt Kyle wiens states that “using grammar in the workplace is necessary for a workers skills”.…
In Kyle’ article, he writes people who make grammar mistakes “deserve to be passed over for a job” and he puts a mandatory grammar test in hiring process. To better assess a grammar test to be a must in hiring people, Kyle emphasized the importance of grammar by giving the following reasons:…
Kimberly Tan, the Author of “Why Do We Care About Grammar?” explains the usage and value of grammar. Tan states in her opinion about grammar that “people need to realize that grammar is there for the sole purpose of clarity and that it has no value outside of what it attempts to convey” (Tan). Tan argues that grammar should not have a set of concrete rules and that grammar is not the important part in the end, it is the content that is being expressed that truly matters. I personally agree with what Tan has said about grammar. Grammar should be used more so for clarification when writing an essay, we should be focusing more on the meaning of the essay than grammar.…
The use of appropriate spoken and written grammar is essential for a teacher so as we don’t offend some parents by making them appear or feel inferior or as if they are incapable or “beneath” us. Spoken and written grammar also allows the teacher to expand a student’s written and spoken vocabulary. Allowing parents and students to feel comfortable to question when they might misunderstand also allows them a greater understanding of individual expectations, educational expectations, and allows a “comfort zone” to understand everything more clearly. When teachers understand behavior and emotional constraints tensions ease, communication becomes clearer and everyone is more satisfied.…
In the web blogs “I Won't Hire People Who Use Poor Grammar” by Kyle Wiens and “Why Grammar Counts At Work” by Susan Adams, these authors both describe why proper use of grammar in the workplace is necessary. Susan Adam, a Forbes contributor, claims that “office managers were fed up with younger employees.” Kyle Wiens, a CEO of iFixit and founder of Dozuki, sympathizes, saying that “he won’t hire people who have bad grammar” (Adams). In both of their articles, they both point out that grammar is a good reflection of one’s self.To Weins, grammar is also a good indicator of a person’s credibility. People who do not care about grammar are more likely to not care about other things which may be important (Weins). In a hyper-competitive market,…
It is important when using written communication to use proper English, good grammar and spelling to ensure that all those who need to access the document are able to understand exactly what is being said. If the grammar or spelling is incorrect then the information may be perceived in the wrong way leading to communication and action errors.…
In John Updike’s “A & P” Sammy, the main character of the story encounters three young girls who come into his grocery store. They are dressed for a day at the beach, not shopping. “The one that caught my eye first was the one in the plaid green two-piece. She was a chunky kid, with a good tan and a sweet broad soft-looking can with those two crescents of white just under it, where the sun never seems to hit, at the top of the backs of her legs.” (Updike) Sammy goes on to say the girls are barefoot and in describing another of the girls says the straps on her swimsuit are down. Their apparel gives them some unintended attention. Lengel, the A & P manager, confronts the three girls, reminding them they are not at the beach. The girls try to defend themselves stating the reason they are in the store is to pick up one item for one of the girls’ mothers. Lengel does not care and tells the girls it does not matter why they are in the store but they need to be decent when they came in to do any sort of shopping. Sammy does not like the way Lengel made a scene and embarrassed the girls. He feels he must follow his heart and stand up for the three girls by quitting his job. In my life, exploring the option of homeschooling my three children, I feel there could be unintended negative consequences as well. Weighing the pros and cons of the decision is a heavy task, but in the end I must do what is right for my family despite outside obstacles, just as Sammy had to do what he felt was right. Sadly, doing what is right for you often times is rejected by main stream society and can therefore bring uphill challenges that accompany your decision.…
People’s grammar should be judged by the position they are applying for versus all the jobs in general. In Kyle Wiens “I Won’t Hire People Who Use Poor Grammar. Here’s Why.” Wiens argues that if someone doesn’t have good grammar then they also don’t pay attention to detail. But in John McWhorter’s article “Good Applicants with Bad Grammar,” he believes differently than Wiens. McWhorter believes that each person doesn’t have to have good grammar for every job. For example, I used to work at subway I always had to pay attention to how many veggies I was putting on and the amount of meat and so where in the sandwich making process was good grammar required, but I did pay attention to detail which got the job done. So Wiens wasn’t completely correct in his argument that poor grammar also means people don’t pay attention to detail. I agree with McWhorter that grammar should be based on the certain job you with to have, and each person whether they have good grammar or not should still be given a fair shot in an interview.…
The most important reason for the use of correct grammar, punctuation and spelling is to make sure that the person/company receiving the information is able to read it accurately. It is also very important as any documents created with imperfections such as spelling and grammar can look unprofesional and reflect negatively on the company.…
Students attend college for the main purpose of receiving a degree and obtaining a job. If poor grammar is inhibiting students from getting a job after college, grammatical principles of writing should be more heavily emphasized within the college curriculum. But, do employers even care about the level of grammatical ability their applicants have? To find the answer to this question, it was important to consider how employers in the professional world feel about grammatical ability and how it varies from profession to profession. Reading articles about grammar in the workplace, analyzing blogs posted by employers, and conducting interviews with employers were the main methods we used to research this question. Articles provided a general idea of how poor grammar affects productivity in the workplace. Additionally, blogs posted by employers showed how poor grammar reflects negatively on the applicant’s intelligence. Finally, interviews with employers allowed us to ask specific questions about the feelings surrounding poor grammar in the workplace.…

Past high school when you apply for a job, grammar will set you apart as a better candidate. Correctly applying syntax will make you more likely to succeed at a job.…
People who have not taken their grammar classes properly find it difficult to frame sentences and put down their ideas on paper. In addition to this, bad writing also fails to convey the thoughts successfully. The writer may have the best ideas but if he is not able to pen them down in error-free sentences then the idea will not be interpreted in the same way by the reader. The ideas may get cluttered and then the writer, himself/herself will find it challenging to structure it neatly later. We can emphasize more on generating ideas neatly.…
My experience with “Grammarly” and “Safe Assign” was a great learning experience. This is my first experience with safe assign; I had used Grammarly in the past for school assignments. I was a bit nervous when I posted my paraphrased assignment, it took a while to get the results, but I was amazed when I got the report stating I used another student work as my reference. This tool will help students avoid plagiarism and maintain academic integrity. With Grammarly, I had to sign up with my school I.D; it even gave me the option to add it to my browser. The page content is clear and understandable, with layouts for writing either academic, business, medical or casual paper. You also have an option to correct your paper using either the British…
