Why your spelling matters

I am one of those irritating people who is always saying how spelling matters. I can’t help it, it’s in my blood and in my genes. But you know what? I really don’t care. I love spelling and grammar and the English language, and I will stop at nothing to get my message across! (I realise that makes me sound a lot like a hardcore religious fanatic, but so be it.)

The following advice I have here is, I won’t lie, inspired by my friend Dan who is a graduate of

The Bristol Language Centre English School . As a graduate he knows and has fresh in his mind a lot of things which a stale and bitter person like me has long forgotten, so thanks Dan, the inspiration was great!

without good spelling and grammar, you will find it harder to communicate

  1. Spelling matters because people won’t take bad spelling seriously: what will happen is people will laugh at your bad spelling and find it amusing that you are hopeless. If they don’t take your spelling seriously then it is highly unlikely that they will take you seriously. This leads to the obvious problem of not getting that job you wanted, or impressing in the way that you intended to.

  2. Spelling matters because that is often the first thing people know about you in a work situation: want that job? You had better have a good CV. Send in a rubbish CV, riddled with typos, and you are in trouble. In fact, I’d be surprised if the CV got further than the desk. Chances are that it will go straight in the bin or worse, the shredder…

  3. Spelling matters because without good spelling and grammar, you will find it harder to communicate in life: this is the worst thing of all and something to avoid at all costs. Communication is part of everything, from work to friendships to…well, literally EVERYTHING. If you can’t communicate then you are at a severe disadvantage and that really is not the way to go, my friend!

  4. Spelling matters because it means you can be efficient: do you really want to waste your time and others'by being slack on spelling? Every time you send an email with poor spelling and grammar, it takes twice as long to get read and be mentally processed. This leads to inefficiency and slowness. Basically, it’s not good.

  5. Spelling matters because it is part of every day life and you need it for work: if you want to perform at your best then you simply must have a handle on it!
