Article Response One

Better Grammar Means Better Jobs;


This article ultimately summarizes that people who use better grammar often see greater success. While reviewing this article I noticed this passage it states that,
  
   "Grammarly recently conducted a study of the grammar used in LinkedIn member profiles. They found that people with fewer grammar errors in their profiles ascended to higher positions, got more promotions and changed jobs more often."
                                                                                                                 This is a link to the article.
 
   I found this extremely interesting. While reading this article I realized that you need grammar in your everyday life, while writing English papers, and also filling out job applications. Its very important to present yourself as knowledgeable. Employers do not want an unintelligent workforce. Also, this is relatable to my life because whenever I turn in a college application, or a scholarship application I try to review it to the best of my ability. I think it looks careless when individuals send in applications without checking their work for grammatical errors.

    "Over-reliance on adverbs is common among writers trying to sound professional. For example, many assume that "I feel badly" is correct. But in fact, due to what are called copular verbs, the correct choice is usually "I feel bad." To say you feel badly means you do a poor job of touching things."
                                                                                                                  This is a link to the article.
 
  Also, this is just an example of the little mistakes people can make. While interviewing it is important to use the correct language. While learning to use appropriate grammar while writing, it is also important to use correct grammar and language while speaking.

Grammar has proven important in many aspects of life; in this article alone we see a plethora of opportunity given by a firm grip on the English language, especially in the world of work and school. With this information in mind, it is fair to say that a good grip on the rules of a language, the more successful in life you will become.
