OP Good folks - I get depressed at work. (And then I read AWAD and perk up to find that there ARE people who care about language.) I run a call center where my agents respond to over 500 emails daily. I am continually amazed at the lack of language skills of both the general public and my agents. I am further amazed to see that it doesn't bother many people. I thrive on assisting my agents in writing clear, concise and meaningful responses. But I get depressed again when I realize that at this level, subtlety and skill is not rewarded, and will even get one into increased difficulties when misunderstandings take place.
Ah ... I thought others might want to vent on the state of language in the workplace. Of course, if such a discussion gets too depressing, perhaps we should delete this thread.
Any takers?
