How often do we as employees consider our use or misuse of grammar, spelling and punctuation in the workplace? Proper usage of grammar, spelling, and punctuation results in the use of Standard English. Standard English is known as the correct form of the English language. Is our misuse of Standard English in our workplace reflecting negatively upon us? Brad Hoover, the CEO of Grammarly, says, “Companies looking to hire top talent should consider grammar as one predictor of a candidate’s aptitude and success.” (Hoover). Many people may find the use of non-standard grammar trivial however, this is not the case in a professional atmosphere. Non-Standard English in the workplace provides no benefit to either the employee or employer and has only negative consequences. The use of non-standard English in the workplace will negatively affect our communication, image, chance for promotions and even our pay in the workplace.

Communication enables human beings to interact in a meaningful way. It is hence a vital component of coming up with the meanings of situations so as to derive the intended conclusions.

Many writers make common errors that prevent clarity and conciseness in their writing. In “Politics and the English Language” by George Orwell (1946), these errors are said to occur when writers are incapable of expressing their thoughts and use dying metaphors, verbal false limbs (using words like “render inoperative” instead of “break”), pretentious diction, and meaningless words to hide that fact (pp. 165-166). In the essay “Removing Redundancy: Writing Clearly and Concisely” (n.d.), Orwell’s errors are elaborated on, with the author listing “repetition, unnecessary words, use of meaningless jargon, and use of pompous or over-the-top sentences and phrases” as the main errors (para. 3). Writers who commonly make these mistakes and make the message unclear by cluttering the piece are not considering their audience. There is, however, hope for the writers who make these errors and the readers that are being subjected to it. The easiest way to fight poor writing is to follow Orwell’s advice and ask one’s self “What am I trying to say? What words will express it? What image or idiom will make it clearer? Is this image fresh enough to have an effect?” as well as “Could I put it more shortly? Have I said anything that is avoidably ugly?” (p. 170). By asking these questions

English can be used amongst friends or with close family because in some cases they will not expect it from you all the time throughout the weeks but, employees should never use Non-Standard English in a workplace or a formal situation.

Many will see an individual as a very professional worker and will lead to them getting promoted or offered higher opportunities.
