Good grammar makes good business sense—and not just when it comes to hiring writers. Writing isn't in the official job description of most people in our office. Still, we give our grammar test to everybody, including our salespeople, our operations staff, and our programmers.

　　Grammar signifies more than just a person's ability to remember high school English. I've found that people who make fewer mistakes on a grammar test also make fewer mistakes when they are doing something completely unrelated to writing—like stocking shelves or labeling parts. It is the same with programmers. Applicants who don't think writing is important are likely to think lots of other things also aren't important.

　　语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。作者认为掌握语法不仅仅意味着一个人中学阶段的学习能力，在工作中也同样重要。一个认为写作不重要的员工很可能也会认为很多其他事情不重要。这种人不是他们公司所需要的。
