THE TRUE IMPORTANCE OF GOOD SPELLING 2

The True Importance of Good Spelling

“The true importance of good spelling” by Lennox Morrison focuses on the necessity of

appropriate typing to increase the credibility of communication. With the advancement in

technology and growing pressure for quick responses via email, typing errors in written

communication or insertion of inappropriate words are very likely. Spelling mistakes should not

be taken lightly because they can be harmful and are not in any way funny. Even though a typo

does not make individuals look less intelligent, it can result in confusion and loss of clarity. In

business, extreme typo cases can result in missed opportunities for employment or sales. Typing

errors even have the potential of destroying relationships with customers or potential love

partners.

Most employers look for employees with a certain level of proficiency. It is for this

reason that some companies ask candidates to undergo writing tests. Coming out of institutions

of higher education does not guarantee that individuals will have the right communication and

interpersonal skills that will enable them to acquire a job. The dissatisfaction of employers with

literacy standards and use of English among graduates accounts for missed opportunities for

many individuals.

Technology is contributing to increased cases of bad spelling, making abbreviations and

misspelt words more common in almost every written communication. Tools for spell-checking

are not always the answer to solving typo errors but may create new problems. Spelling is the

most common type of mistakes that individuals ranging from students to leaders make. Wrong

words are likely to be common as different words other than the intended ones can go unnoticed

during writing and proof-reading.
