Came across a GREAT website today! It’s called Business Writing. Can I tell you I know about 500 folks to forward this site to?
Here is another GREAT related article in today’s WSJ.
Take notes, people!
Speaking of etiquette, my sister in “Diva-dom”, posted a great article on her blog today about Evite etiquette. Here is the link.
I think that computers have turned us into a LAZY and RUDE society when it comes to etiquette. Manners and etiquette are just out the door.
Here is a direct link to the article per cnnmoney.com article (great rules, by the way):
Okay, I am sick and tired of folks who have never stepped ONE FOOT into a “ghetto” using the word as if it describes something! Well, ya’ll boy Newt Gingrich did it on yesterday. Here’s the story.
Gingrich stated “The American people believe English should be the official language of the government. … We should replace bilingual education with immersion in English so people learn the common language of the country and they learn the language of prosperity, not the language of living in a ghetto,”.
Bruh, how does bilingual education equate with a language of living in a ghetto? I didn’t realize that there was a language of living in a ghetto. NOTE: If there is such a language, would you have someone who knows it get in touch with me? Thanks. English is the official language of the US and I think that EVERYONE who plans on living here should learn how to use it properly to function.
What Gingrich fails to realize is MOST European and Asian countries teach their children 3-4 languages IN ADDITION to that country’s native language, at an early age. I WISH that were the case here in America.
Gingrich, Gingrich, Gingrich…watch your choice of words. I get your point, but that little “side bar” of meanless, ignorant info was just another reason why you are on my “IG-NO-RA-MOOSE” list.
