[QUOTE="winglas, post: 967120, member: 41325"] Actually, Im not a truck driver, and while I definitely have my moments of being dumb, I have enough of a grasp on proper use of the english language to attain a graduate level degree. True, perhaps my spelling/grammar isnt perfect, but this is an informal setting...Im not making a presentation to a group of people, writing a detailed report, or relaying information from a companywide notification to my employees...Just simply going off on a rant as you all do about things that get on your nerves every now and again. UpstateNYUPSer, just because you may have low self esteem and view yourself and others as a "dumb truck driver" does not mean that every other truck driver out there must be lumped into the same category. There are truck drivers out there that are very, VERY intelligent, but choose to drive for varying reasons. Just because the stigma that is attached to the profession, doesnt mean its necessarily true. On a final note perhaps you should consider this...managers are meant to lead their employees, and to do this employees must be not only willing to follow, but need to have a certain amount of trust and respect. When a manager doesnt pay attention to the accuracy of their english it has the ability to alter the employee/s perception of their capabilities and/or credibility, as well raise questions regarding the quality of anything else they do, thus making it harder for a manager to lead their employees. Would you willingly follow a manager whom you questioned their capabilities , credibility, and quality of work? More than likely not. Instead you would question them and everything they say and/or do making their job harder, and then come here to b!tch and complain about it. You might think something as insignificant as a word can have little impact on a given situation, but that little insignificant word when incorrectly used, pronounced, or understood could be what ends up causing a war.
