My boss's boss is a terrible speller and I just cringe at the emails he sends out. How is that man in charge of a territory? Apparently, spelling and punctuation aren't important when it comes to upper management.Margiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03843006118151762550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-66172490543890944082016-06-28T12:48:10.059-04:002016-06-28T12:48:10.059-04:00I remember having a boss who I thought--because he...I remember having a boss who I thought--because he was an educated and very well-paid man--would be an excellent communicator both verbally and on "paper." Oh, ye gods, how wrong could I be? I used to be very resentful of having to clean up after him.Liz Flahertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06794565644883272260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-84024076272312830572016-06-28T10:39:22.706-04:002016-06-28T10:39:22.706-04:00Can we have a sampler made to that effect?

The whole sale do you think? Hmmmm...I know I'm a editor and trained to think about stuff like this, but a sign like that just makes me shake my head in wonder...Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08809913527142033733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-37787709987402442862016-06-28T10:34:22.277-04:002016-06-28T10:34:22.277-04:00Thank you for your support! ;-)Thank you for your support! ;-)Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08809913527142033733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-52346382022610775092016-06-28T10:03:29.154-04:002016-06-28T10:03:29.154-04:00I am a grammar snob also.

I see this language ignorance in action weekly from a person who is often the first-line of communication for my company, and it drives me batty that this is how we are represented. It's like walking in the front door to be greeted by a slovenly, unbathed receptionist.Ava Cuvayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06312693483840366091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-20602145505217867932016-06-28T07:33:54.708-04:002016-06-28T07:33:54.708-04:00*nods* Recently a sign at the turn to our neighbor...*nods* Recently a sign at the turn to our neighborhood read "Garage Sale's Cheap'.
