English spelling and grammar

[Guest Anya]

I've been following these threads for a few years and have come across numerous posts using very bad grammar and spelling by people who "claim" to have high qualifications. Sometimes the same people are finding it difficult to find employment in Aus.

 

 

If they're using these high qualifications (coupled with a poor grasp of spelling and grammar) to apply for a teaching job in English or as a professor in a University then I'd agree with your post. I think it really depends on the industry. You don't need a very high level of grammar and spelling for many types of very highly paid professions :-)
