Or we can partially agree.
Now that I've better understood what you're talking about, I'm really more on the same side.
However, you would not hire me.
I've had C (I guess, we are using a different scoring system in schools here) on writing and languages all the time. And every attempt to improve that had very little results if any. In fact, I've had a better score on English than my native Ukrainian, but maybe that has something to do with the actual scoring system for the foreign languages here.
Yet, having far from the best writing skills was never an issue for me in adult life. Nor I've ever thought it could be.
Makes sense, especially considering such low requirements.I believe that if a person cannot take the time to learn to write properly and especially considering the tools you mentioned, I shouldn't trust them to do more complex tasks. Again, I am talking good enough skills to pass grade school language classes.
Sure, the person should definitely care when it's something that important. But I would still forgive if someone is uber busy and just wrote a quick email with lots of mistakes.If a person cannot take the care to check their emails or mass communications, how are they going to execute the plan we are working on?
Totally agree, and you have a nice real-life proof for that.It can also lead to miscommunications which can end up causing a lot of problems. I had a Marketing Executive cause a $50k fine with the SEC because she used the wrong language.
