Ethos and Error

This essay was a mouthful. The whole theme was errors in the workplace. If we don't see grammar as important, then surely we will appreciate it since our mortgage depends on it. BEsides the methodology approach, which was quite extensive. I liked the fact that Beason said the business people saw image as the main problem with faulty writing and he he broke it down into five categories. It reminded me of Snow White. There's sleepy and dopey and "hasty," "careless," etc. the thing that jumped out at me was thinking problems vs. knowledge problems. It seems people see you as having "faulty thinking abilities..." (52). They do not think you can reason. That's huge! One mistake in a letter can label you for the rest of your tenure ant a job.
