Bad business writing

According to the AP, it's not just schools that are complaining of students' deteriorating writing skills brought on by instant communication, but businesses are affected too.

"In an era of nonstop e-mail and instant and text messaging, written communication skills within companies may be getting even worse as quality is compromised by the perceived need for speed.

Wary of the trend, not just businesses but business schools across the country are working harder to make changes. Some have added or expanded writing programs in recent years; others use corporations' faux pas as case studies in hopes their students will learn to avoid them."
