Reference Tool for Straight Talk Writing
We conspicuously display our professionalism in our writing.
Because of their tangible nature, your messages live on, for better or for worse. The good ones accomplish their tasks while polishing our image. The bad ones � Well, we have all had the experience of writing something we should not have. We may have sent an email or letter in the heat of the moment that later embarrassed us. Or, we may have distributed an unedited (and grammatically unclear or misspelled) message.
This reference tool can help. Spend enough time to digest just six categories of writing errors and their remedies. Mastering these will greatly reduce the likelihood of âdetailâ errors that would otherwise diminish your credibility and communication effectiveness.
This material targets the most common grammar and usage mistakes, although it is not intended to be a substitute for a good style guide you can refer to for specific questions. We recommend that you keep a reference book handy or use an online guide for dealing with the less common rules and language conventions.
For now, and in the spirit of the ubiquitous 80/20 rule, we give you 20 percent of the guidelines that will fix 80 percent of any grammar or usage questions you face in workplace writing. Applying the information in this reference tool will allow you to avoid the vast majority of common language-use pitfalls. You will write with better confidence, will project professionalism, and will avoid credibility-damaging errors.
