[quote=Anonymous]I'm a nanny and there's a family I do occasional date night and overnight work for who recently looked for someone to fill some gaps while a parent was out of town. The dad was screening the applicants and discounted the ones with poor grammar and error filled profiles. One asked why he didn't respond to her application and he told her it was due to her poor grammar on her profile and in her application and that he wants someone who speaks properly and can present themself seriously. (Or words to that effect.) The applicant became very belligerent and combative about it. She asked! He thought he was doing her a favor by telling her why so she can clean up the spelling and grammar and improve her chances in the future. Her response guaranteed she wasn't going to get this job, or even an interview. I think it's fine to have a preference, but I also think if a person is a native English speaker and still can't string together a few sentences about themselves, a topic they should know well, then there's probably a reason for it and it's not good.[/quote]
