I know my customers would be dismayed if I ended a sentence with a preposition!

Also, how about a comma after "see"?

Without the mortar of punctuation, the brick of grammar will not stand!

Norm, here is one for you to work over....

Child: I want to be read to.
Mother: Which book would you like to be read to out of?
Child: Robinson Crusoe.
Mother brings Swiss Family Robinson.
Child: What did you bring me that book to be read to out of for?

Of course, you are absolutely correct! How many people say "Where is he at?" or "Where is it at?" "Where did you put it at?"

Some errors sound much worse than others. We could list dozens and dozens. I think I am getting some folks attention with this thread. That is good.

Our image is not only reflected by our written communication.

Added together these things make a huge difference. THEY ARE THE COMPANY IMAGE!

And, you do have control over these things!

Norm

That’s professional image norm, Company image is much, much more.

Silly as it sounds norm, sooner or later we are bound to agree on something.

I am sure we can find agreement. Plus, I am always open to change and learning new things. No matter how you think I come across, I am wide open to expanding my horizons.

Please continue.

I agree with that, and now you have clearly demonstrated my point.

We must be careful to watch our expanding horizons, less we find ourselves buying two plane tickets. One for each cheek.
