There’s some ‘alliteration’ for you! My great concern though, is
fact that there are too many today who wouldn’t understand
title or know
meaning of ‘alliteration’ (a repetition of words beginning with
same letter – as in Peter Piper picked a peck......). You might ask, "What has this to do with Internet Home Based Business?". I'll get to that.I’m a member of a number of forums and in each, at some point, and often on a number of occasions, there is long discussion regarding
standard of literacy among graduates these days (or over
last twenty years or so). It's perfectly obvious in every forum that many people don’t have even
most basic skills when it comes to grammar and spelling.
Perusing as many websites as I do on a daily basis, as do all those who make their livings through home based business, I sometimes find myself despairing for some of those who have recently been through
so called ‘educational institutions’ that pass as schools in western countries. I am Australian, I have spoken with many in
U.S., Britain and Canada and it would seem that
problem isn’t only relevant to any one country or area.
Even when I worked in
‘real’ world, I had occasion to hire graduates who, of course, needed to fill out an application. I still have a couple of extraordinary examples of ‘education failing miserably’.
I posed earlier, "What does this have to do with Internet Home Based Business?". When you consider that
level of literacy required to put together a reasonable quality website, fill it with passable content and promote it to search engines and
Internet population in general, is beyond
average High School graduate's writing (spelling and grammar) cabilities, this is indeed a huge concern. Of course, you not only have to be able to write but also have to be able to read and understand others.
Where will we find ourselves in ten or fifteen years if something is not done now to remedy this long-standing problem. Time and again throughout
years I have heard people complain about
quality of grammar and/or spelling of our graduates, let alone
ability to create and write a good article, some reasonable website content or a passable essay.
