[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two workers that are illiterate. One is a supervisor. I asked the supervisor to write a reference letter. I had to rewrite the letter. The letter written by the supervisor demonstrated a high level of illiteracy. I suspect we will see more of this in the upcoming years.[/quote] Yes, it's sad. I'm frequently recognized at work for writing well. Most of the writing duties fall to me as a result. English is my second language. When I went to high school in the late 80s, we still had typing classes, where I learned not just touch typing, but also the proper format of letters, memos, meeting minutes, etc. I've always had a writing style guide on my bookshelf since. I recently decided to take some training in plain English writing and it was very helpful. The instructor thanked us for showing up and caring about effective communication using the English language. [/quote]
