097: The Importance of Spelling and Grammar in Your Copy

Your going to love todays episode.

Language is a fascinating topic, and along with language comes the conversation about spelling, grammar, and overall structure of your communication.

There has been an interesting observable trend over the last decade or so, a trend that has slowly diminished both the social requirement of good writing and increased the necessity of speed in our communication.

The results are apparent and incredibly interesting as you study the nature of how people connect on the internet. Typos are just part of the charm, right?

Not only this, but the internet has also connected people from all over the world, providing easy access and communication between peoples of multiple languages and cultures.

Today we’re going to talk about the role of spelling and grammar in your messaging, how much it matters in what contexts, and what to do if you’re writing in a language that isn’t your native language.
