NBC: Americans’ bad grammar costly
It seems NBC has finally realized that Americans’ ability to use English is rapidly going downhill. This story was shown as the last story on NBC Nightly News. In the story, they cover how companies are having to spend millions just to teach their employees basic English. They also associate poor writing skills with computer usage, claiming that writing techniques used on computers manifest themselves in all forms of writing. Of course, if people would just write correctly on their computers, they’d not have that problem!
This comes just three weeks after NBC Nightly News misspelled “forecasting” on a story heading.
