I Won't Hire People Who Use Poor Grammar. by Kyle Wiens (Harvard Business Review, 7/20/12); summary + commentary by Lynda McDaniel

In a recent Harvard Business Review article, Kelbins called himself "grammar sticker". He explained that anyone applying for work at either iFixit or Dozuki company needs to undergo grammar tests. Except for dyslexia, learners of English, and other unthinkable circumstances, he takes a "tolerance zero" attitude against grammatical errors.

"The difference between" / "," it / it "," they / their / where "is particularly important in companies where his main product is the user manual and technical document. But he explained that the grammar of each company is very important. Regardless of its type, such as blogs, articles, e-mails, corporate websites, "All your content is your own, if they are absent they will be your own expectation," Wiens thinks I will.

Wiens Review answered my own efforts to improve the quality of the work writing. We appreciate him for judging our opinion with the clues they have - usually our word is only today. Fortunately, people seem to be more and more interested in refreshing grammar and punctuation skills. So, I asked Vienna's rigidity about mistakes. Excellence is a wonderful goal, but not perfectionism. I discovered that perfectionism trembled and rocked my client in the face of writing a project. It stops their creativity and in fact makes mistakes

What are your grammar and punctuation skills? How is the quality of writing at work? Are you attributable to the "zero tolerance approach"? What do you think is the difference between perfectionism and excellence?

In a recent article by Kyle Wiens "Harvard Business Review of July 2012" I would like to add an article "I will not recruit people with bad grammar, this is a way" to ABC practices. The grammar test provides several suggestions for improving the adoption criteria of ABC. From the point of view of Kyle, grammar is very important in business. It not only leaves the first impression of the company public but also shows employee understanding of details. Along with the development of modern society, competition among companies is becoming increasingly intense. The details can help the company differentiate and gain profits. In order to adapt to fierce competition, companies need to adopt people with skills and details.

Recently, Dictionary.com has announced an attractive article titled "Office grammar is important?" This article refers to the founder of iFixit CEO, Kyle Wiens and Dozuki who is participating in Harvard business review. I wrote an article saying "I will not hire people with bad grammar". Wiens said, "People who reduced mistakes in grammar tests reduced mistakes when doing something completely unrelated to lighting shelves and label components." In contrast, John McWhorter was in New York. Times's article pointed out that grammar does not mean understanding of wisdom and details but grammar is not an essential skill in many occupations. - Grammar comment
