The main purpose in the correct use of grammar, punctuation and spelling is ensuring the receiver of the information reads it accurately. Addition to this when given a task to do, your employer expects you to do it perfectly. When a document has inaccuracies, readers tend to distrust everything, including the statistics, opinions, and facts. This would be relayed back to my employer who would themselves lose confidence in our ability. For progression in my company I need to ensure I carry out all tasks to a certain standard.

Students aren’t making nearly as many spelling mistakes due to spellcheck but are now using the wrong word or preposition in their writing. Stanford researcher Andrea Lunsford creates an interesting point when she asks if students are losing the taste for more complex English. This is something we don’t want to lose the ability to do.
With modern technologies, the way we write and read is changing rapidly, and with such changes so must spelling. Both authors make valid points, but at the same time have different views. Both, Mikita Brottman and Anne Trubek are passionate about spelling and grammar. Brottman says that spelling counts, grammar counts, and consistency counts in résumés. Mikita Brottman states that everyone especially those applying for a job should know how to properly spell the name of their field of expertise. Trubek says that as long as the message gets understood, spelling is not necessarily as important as the meaning behind the message. “No, autocorrect and spellcheckers are wrongheaded because they reinforce a traditional spelling standard. Consistent spelling was a great way to ensure clarity in the print era. But with new technologies, the way that we write and read (and search and data-mine) is changing, and so must spelling.” (p.

Safe work procedures, along with operating procedures, maintenance procedures, and training, form the foundation for achieving high levels of human reliability.
All staff should know the standard safe working practices in a lab. They must know the types of hazard that they face; the worst event which could occur; and also the personal protective equipment and facilities which will reduce these risks. Safety showers and eyewash stations are included in these facilities. Lab employees must know where these are situated and how to use them. Each employee should also be familiar with all alarm signals, the evacuation procedures and the response to an emergency. If the lab worker knows all these then they should be safe while working.
The Checkers fail to notice many grammar and spelling errors. The checkers only identified the words Japanese, Kokugo, and Nihingo as spelling errors. The checkers also identified the “a” in “The Japanse have a almost mystical…”, and “they “ as grammar error. They gave a correct suggestion for fixing the “Japanse” into Japanese. The checkers identified the proper nouns not being capitalized. Words like kokugo and nihingo should have been capitalized. However, even after capitalizing the word the spelling checker still says it’s wrong. The grammatical suggestion that the checker gives is correct for the “a” which is “an”. However, the suggestion for the “they” is wrong. The word ” leaning” is wrong because it should be “learning”. Moreover,
Computers have evolved at an extremely fast pace in the past few years. We would be at an extreme disadvantage if we did not take the opportunity to use this to our benefit. With the common place of wireless networks and mobile platforms, such as the IPAD, doctors could carry out such changes fairly readily and efficiently. This would allow for the text to be easily read, and give the doctors one more tool for correcting spelling errors as well. It has already been proven that computers can greatly reduce the errors made as evidenced by an excerpt of one article "... during the study, the non-missed-dose medication error rate fell 81 percent, from 142 per 1,000
Moreover, staying in just one position for a long period ( sitting in a chair with a bright computer screen right in front of you) can make you more susceptible to neck, back, and shoulder pain. All these can even affect your performance and inadvertently limit the progress of the company.
