It has companies tearing their hair out.” – R. Craig Hogan

C-Net has an article on a wretched state of written communication in business E-mail. For those of you in school now, you will spend more time writing Email as you work in your Internet connected job in the future. Written Engligh and typing may be the most important skills you learn in high school. Spell checkers, grammar checkers, and “voice to text” will not save you.

It’s not that hard. We’re only expecting a 6th grade level, anyway.
