I just received a wonderfully apropos email: an
article in the Harvard Business Review regarding grammar.
Yes, language is constantly changing, but that doesn't make grammar unimportant. Good grammar is credibility, especially on the internet. In blog posts, on Facebook statuses, in e-mails, and on company websites, your words are all you have. They are a projection of you in your physical absence. And, for better or worse, people judge you if you can't tell the difference between their, there, and they're.
Some on DDF would do well to take heed, especially those with an aversion to the shift key, a distaste for any and all commas, and a finicky caps lock.
