In collage my Network instructor not only required a term paper and gave a separate grade for spelling and grammar, he also taught us some techniques to improve our grammar. He told us that in many jobs we would need to be able to write to be understood.
I have difficulty reading, Spelling and grammar errors slow me down even more. I NEED correct grammar and spelling if you want me to get the point. Thank you and have a Terrific day!
