    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,…

    The excerpt above was extracted from the fourth chapter of Jane Austen’s Persuasion, and although it is early in the development of the plot and the story as a whole, much can be known and learned through its close observation. Signs and hints on all the elements involved in the story, such as society organization, relationships, moral and values, characters’ profiles and other issues are given already on the very first paragraphs. Persuasion is extremely well organized in terms of plot. It follows what Ian Watt (1957) calls “principle of causality”, meaning that one event that takes place in the plot under determined conditions will cause, or give possibility to something else to happen. It is also a novel which has the narrative organized by the same principles, but in several different levels, that will be discussed…

    English is a West Germanic Language. It spread with the growth of the British Empire, becoming the dominant language in Canada, the United States, New Zealand and Australia. The growing global influence of the US has further increased the spread of English. Today English is probably the most widely spoken language in the world, with many people learning it as a second or foreign language, like me and you. It is estimated that there could be as many as 1.5 billion total English speakers worldwide. The countries with the highest populations of native English speakers are the US, UK, Canada and Australia. With over 800 million native speakers, Chinese Mandarin is the most spoken native language, followed by Spanish and English. English is one of six official languages of the United Nations, as well as French, Russian, Spanish, Arabic and Chinese Mandarin. More countries use English as their official language than any other. French is second. There are thirteen languages spoken by more than 100 million people.

    The word processor has changed the way we use English Language because the popularly used word processor from Microsoft and similar other word processors which were from IBM and other open source software are all using the American version of English.Sitting here in Mumbai I am appalled by one thing is the dying European English which is being used lesser because it is limited to literature and books.Also I studied British English in school but my college education was completely ruled by American literature because we essentially didn't study British English in a world increasingly being dominated by American Literature .So as I am typing I am using British English and American Spellings because the word processor is designed so.I am not being Anti American here.Just an observation over the use of language because of the proliferation of Media from the US markets to the other parts of the world and a consumerist culture against the conservative British which uses an old English.Language has evolved but both the British and American English coexist and many of us have messed up big time with using our English because we fail to realize that we are using both types of English.Also Twitter and Facebook including Quora are American Mega websites all in big scale.So they endorse The US English.Anybody can share your thoughts here.When people read the bible they shifted from old testament to new testament though the old testament remained,it has some what been discounted.Similarly though the works of Shakespeare etc are becoming increasingly difficult to understand as we are shifting from an old English to new English which i call the English (US)this has also impacted Journalism in a big way where our Journalists are using essentially a mix of…

    The noun and the verb are the most important categories of speech. The verb is the most important. These categories are the nucleus of the sentence, which is composed of the subject and the predicate. The verb lexeme needs determination too. The verb must express time, person and other distinctions. Besides these distinctions, the verb must express such semantic functions as terminativity/boundness and non-terminativity. Process is expressed by the verb. It has an end point: the process of writing end when some product is created. Bounded words have a final aim: they express process limited in time. Non-bounded processes have no end-point (e.g. John is walking in the park – non-bounded / - to the park – bounded (the end is park). Bounded processes are purposive – they have an aim. Unbounded processes have no aim. Verbs are divided into finite and non-finite forms. Finite forms are determined processes. Non-finite forms are also determined forms (e.g. Walk (v) – must be grammatically processed). Processes can’t be imagined without persons.…
