Engaged: Conference: inkwell.vue, Topic 165

If the culture of the organization is such that misspellings and poor
grammar are going to brand an otherwise smart and creative person as
below standard, the organization has some deep-seated problems. Of
course a spell checker would help. But when offering these
opportunities to converse online, the organization needs to frame them
with encouragement. Part of the social contract must be to not penalize
people as if it was English Composition 101. The emphasis should be on
exchange of knowledge and ideas. Everyone should strive for brevity
and relevance. It should be explained that with time and experience,
the online conversational skills will develop.
