Presenting reports -
No mater how good and detailed a report is, if it has any spelling
mistakes it will be instantly rejected. Senior managers don't read
reports, but just check the spelling, grammar and arithmetic. If all
these are acceptable then there will be a strong chance that they
will agree with the findings - simply because they look good.
As I have said before, I never had any large respect for good spelling.
That is my feeling yet. Before the spelling-book came with its arbitrary
forms, men unconsciously revealed shades of their characters, and also
added enlightening shades of expression to what they wrote by their
spelling, and so it is possible that the spelling-book has been a
doubtful benevolence to us....
