On social media I only have a problem with poor grammar or spelling when people are calling out others on their mistakes! It really grinds my gears. In the workplace however I associate poor grammar with a lack of professionalism (this may be unfair) and I know others who feel the same. For this reason I feel it's important for professional communication to contain minimal errors to avoid distraction from the message or idea. Perhaps over time we will all become a bit more relaxed about this. However from what I've seen in HR, spelling mistakes (for example in a CV) can affect employability, and that may be a good reason to learn!Erinnoreply@blogger.com
