Not just Cisco. Granted we all need to be a bit more tolerant of typos in
e-mail, which has become more of a "chat" medium than a "written" medium.
But the fact is that at least in the US there are generations of people who
managed to survive our school system with little idea about how to construct
a sentence. Case agreement? Subject verb object? Plurals and singulars
mixed? Forget about factual content.
Someone who has written a very clear and understandable technical book once
said that the key, in her estimation, is to re-read everything you write.
Good advice, no matter how busy one is, or what the forum.

Hmmm...based upon the entire paragraph I would agree that the

literal interpretation indicates that it DOES have bearing. ;-)
1st paragraph
---
***These surveys does reflect in any way on the exam.
Clearly he forgot a word, "not." The message that we need to get out is
that your answers to the survey DO NOT affect your test score. I'd like to
ask everyone to stop spreading that silly rumor.
At the very least, there are conflicting statements within
the entire message.
2nd paragraph
---
***The surveys again does not reflect on the exams.***
My guess is that the writer is kicking himself for such an
inconsistent email. Doh! I hate it when that happens! :-)
I doubt he is kicking himself. A lot of Cisco people don't have a clue how
to proof read. I don't think he even knows what awful writing that was,
(though I did respond and point it out, of course. ;-) There is a labor
shortage in Silicon Valley. I guess Cisco can't manage to hire skilled
people for jobs that require communicating with the public. Sorry, if that
sounds really cynical.

Happy Holidays to all,

Well, here you have your answer, if you can parse it. It appears to be
written by a non-native English speaker, as is probably the case with the
survey instructions on the test.

Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting the Cisco Training. In regards to your
question,
the surveys given before the exam is for customer service evaluation
and
statistics. One is from Prometric, the testing vendor, is for customer
service on the exam. The other survey is from Cisco to see if a
candidate
has any backgrounds in the networking industry. These surveys does
reflect in any way on the exam.
If a candidate has no or little experience/backgrounds in the
networking
industry and replys in the surveys with that answer, the exam(s) will
not
be easier. The surveys again does not reflect on the exams.
If you have further questions, please feel free to contact us for
assistance.
Kind regards,
