If there is one common thread that I have heard from laboratory supervisors, managers, executives, commanders, wardens, police chiefs, and administrators, it is this sort of a quote: "Send me somebody that can WRITE! I can train them to do almost anything else, but I don't have the time to train them how to read and write!" I must tell you that this is serious business and that sloppy and/or non-literate writing will prevent a person, no matter how well qualified, from getting a job, a promotion, or a good personnel evaluation. I have seen this happen often. SO, keeping these Yahoogroups Discussion Board posts literate as a good start. Use colloquial expressions only deliberately and then to make a specific point. Also, the appearance of email addresses also points out a great deal about how an individual is perceived (is this person a professional or a "dolt"). I think, in this regard, the best quote I can leave you with is from The Dalai Lama, in one of his Mantras for the year 2008 (for 2008 he delivered 19 Mantras). Mantra number five: "Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly."
