I can't quite come up with a satisfying answer to this. On the one hand, you'd expect someone you're potentially employing to carry out skilled work to at least be able to throw together a grammatically correct and properly spelled sentence in an email. On the other hand, a lot of skilled tradesmen and craftsmen, especially in niche fields, seem to be terrible at email but personable in real life, and their trade skills can make up for their poor communication skills. On yet another hand, can you really trust someone to carry out a job requiring attention to detail if they don't have the attention to detail to ensure their grammar and spelling are correct in their emails and letters to you? |

I think it ultimately comes down to the signalling value of language. Nobody expects a tradesman to have particularly good writing skills, because it's almost entirely unrelated to their actual work. I'd look for other signs, like their van. If it's a rustbucket, they probably don't give a shit. If it's too flash, there's a good chance they'll rip you off. If it's a rental with magnetic decals over the Hertz logo, you might get burgled. |

People that focus on bullshit lack a lot of other skills then they get insecure about it and try attacking others for having one bad skill i.e spelling/grammar |

Doctors really do have handwriting as awful as their reputations suggest. |

>>7136 This is now getting off topic. Yes I want a nurse or whatever to document correctly, but as for whether they talk proper or can construct beautiful written pros is entirely redundant as to whether they are trust worthy or good at their job. I know shit doctors who can write a great letter and I know great doctors who write shit letters and I know which ones I prefer to work with. |

I used to collaborate in several past jobs with teams in Bangalore, the top tier investment bank was fine, they had clear diction. But the other company was just awful, I understood maybe 50% of what was said and had to piece it together. I had to find ways to get everything in emails because otherwise the ambiguity made my job undoable. |
