Are you confident about your punctuation?

According to the National Literacy Trust report, published in 2013: "There is a wealth of literature and surveys documenting employers’
perceptions of the skills of young people entering the job market. In
2013, the CBI’s annual Education and Skills Survey showed 32% of
employers are dissatisfied with literacy skills, and similar figures have
been reported since 2003. In 2012, employers placed literacy as
the second highest priority for those teaching 14 to 19-year-olds (50%,
after 71% for employability skills, with numeracy featuring third with
45% and communication skills fourth at 42%). 2013 survey data shows the level of concern about basic literacy skills varies between sectors – it hits a peak in the public sector, with 73% of those questioned expressing concern, compared with 69% in retail and hospitality, 68% in construction (health and safety reports are an issue of substantial concern), 52% in manufacturing, 42% in engineering, IT and science and 42% in professional services."

Is it time to take control of literacy in your business?

"a London-based digital communications agency surveyed 1,003 U.K. web users last July. The agency found that close to half of the overall respondents – 42.5 percent – would be most influenced by spelling or grammar blunders."

Do grammar mistakes impact social media? One study says more than 40 percent of a brand's audience notice grammatical errors – and they’re not impressed.
