But it is hardly surprising, when modern society operates at breakneck speed, without taking a breath before it fires off the next meaningless tweet. Full of short-code and bad grammar, it bears little resemblance to the words in the Oxford Dictionary which comprise the English language. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Bad spelling may be acceptable for small children learning their language, but not when it comes to companies and small businesses operating online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_79

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">In 2011<strong> &#8211; BBC News<\/strong> posted an article entitled \u2013&nbsp;<em><strong>Spelling mistakes cost millions in lost online sales<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Written by education correspondent <strong>Sean Coughlan<\/strong> who raises concerns which I have

Eroding language skills are leading to serious communication breakdown. Bad spelling costs money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">I wrote about bad grammar in a post entitled \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/jamoroki.com\/authorindie\/language-skills\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Could poor language skills lead to a breakdown in society?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">My concerns go much deeper than typos that cost $millions. But Sean Coughlan\u2019s observations are important, as they point to the root of the problems \u2013 <strong>Education<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><strong><strong>Improving the education system must be the way to eradicate poor teaching and commonly misspelled words, which could be the downfall of many companies.

He says, when recruiting staff he has been &#8220;shocked at the poor quality of written English&#8221;. Then he says, sales figures suggest misspellings put off consumers who could have concerns about a website&#8217;s credibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The concerns were echoed by the <strong>Confederation of British Industry (CBI<\/strong>). Its head of education and skills warned, too many employers had to invest in remedial literacy lessons for their staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-modern-business-depends-on-old-fashioned-skills-to-avoid-bad-grammar\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Modern_Business_Depends_on_Old_Fashioned_Skills_to_Avoid_Bad_Grammar\"><\/span>Modern Business Depends on Old Fashioned Skills to Avoid Bad Grammar.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Mr Duncombe runs travel, mobile phones and clothing websites. He says that bad spelling costs money, and is a serious problem for the online economy. And it is costing the economy millions in lost revenue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>&#8220;Often these cutting-edge companies depend upon old-fashioned skills,&#8221;<\/em> he says. Furthermore, &#8220;<em>the struggle to recruit enough staff who can spell, means that this sector of the economy is not as efficient as it might be.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<cite> Charles Duncombe<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shortcomings-in-the-education-system-are-a-problem\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shortcomings_in_the_English_Education_System_are_a_Problem\"><\/span>Shortcomings in the English Education System are a Problem<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;I know that industry bemoaning the education system is nothing new, but it is becoming more and more of a problem, with more companies going online.&#8221;<\/p>\n<cite> Charles Duncombe<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">It is possible to identify the specific impact of a spelling mistake on sales, he says. When he measured the revenue per visitor to the tightsplease.co.uk website, he found revenue doubled, after an error was corrected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;If you project this across the whole of internet retail, then millions of pounds worth of business is probably being lost each week. And it&#8217;s due to simple spelling mistakes,&#8221;<\/p>\n<cite><em>Director of the Just Say Please group.<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-if-bad-spelling-costs-millions-what-s-the-solution\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"If_Misspelling_Costs_Millions_whats_the_Solution\"><\/span>If Misspelling Costs Millions, what&#8217;s the Solution?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Spelling is important to the credibility of a website. When there are underlying concerns about fraud and safety, then getting the basics right is essential. If a consumer is wary of spam or phishing efforts, a misspelt word could be a killer issue. When recruiting school and university leavers, Mr Duncombe found too many applications did not  contain correct spelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;Some people even used text speak in their cover letter.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<cite>Charles Duncombe<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Even among those who appeared to be able to spell, he says that a written test, without access to a computer spellchecker, revealed further problems with incorrect spelling. Without a significant improvement in the education system, I can&#8217;t see how the problem will ever be resolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-authors-have-to-be-mindful-of-sloppy-writing\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Authors_have_to_be_Mindful_of_Sloppy_Writing\"><\/span>Authors have to be Mindful of Sloppy Writing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">If you leave out a letter in a word by mistake, Pro-Writing Aid spellchecker will tell you. Or will it? &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">What if the word is manic and you write maniac, or there instead of their? Pro-Writing Aid knows those words are correct. If you are lucky you may get a nudge to say something might be wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Authors know it\u2019s easy to skip a word and not just a letter. That is why we read and re-read our manuscripts over and over until our eyes are stinging and our heads are spinning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">&nbsp;While the odd typo may not alter the meaning of a sentence, it can bug the reader, disrupt the flow of the story, and make you look unprofessional. But small errors, unless there are too many, are seldom fatal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The real issues arise when poor writing renders text incomprehensible, ambiguous, and sends the wrong message. It happens all the time, as does the infuriating habit some people have of wasting hours by not answering a simple question. Usually because you ask two or three, and they are incapable of processing more than one in an email or other written communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-here-is-an-email-conversation-that-got-me-nowhere\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Here_is_an_Email_Conversation_that_got_me_Nowhere\"><\/span>Here is an Email Conversation that got me Nowhere.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-my-question\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"My_Question\"><\/span>My Question<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>I am trying to understand how to deal with removing unwanted posts without upsetting Google with 404&#8217;s.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>When I do a permanent delete in a WordPress site I register a 410.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>How do I do it in my xxxx \u00a0site?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-their-answer\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Answer\"><\/span>The Answer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>I went ahead and reviewed your blog posts and see of course you have published multiple posts on the site.\u00a0 Refer to the following image: I did want to clear up somethings too, did you want to remove a blog post you have on your Blog from Google search results?\u00a0 If you would like to remove any blog posts from Google&#8217;s search results it&#8217;s best to re-submit your sitemap if they already have the page listed on their search results.\u00a0 You would of course want to delete the blog posts that you would want to remove prior.\u00a0 To submit your sitemap to Google please click on the link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I see that you were contacting us from Thailand but have the site in English?\u00a0 Did you want to make the site multilingual?\u00a0 You can translate your content and have this as an option on your live site!\u00a0 There are other features on the account that we&#8217;d love to help with.\u00a0 Were you able to add everything you wanted on the site\/ account?\u00a0 You can even make edits on the go with your phone!\u00a0 If this sounds interesting to your and had other questions on the account or endeavors you may want to go through feel free to ask as we may be able to help you further through your process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope that this information was helpful.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-my-reply\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"My_Reply\"><\/span>My Reply<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>Thank you for the information.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>However, you haven&#8217;t answered my question.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Can you please do so, or say if you don&#8217;t understand me.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><strong>So, checking and rechecking the written word is essential.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-facebook-tolerates-poor-spelling\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Facebook_Tolerates_Common_Misspelling\"><\/span>Facebook Tolerates Common Misspelling!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><strong>William Dutton<\/strong>, director of the Oxford Internet Institute at Oxford University, says: in some informal parts of the internet, such as Facebook, there is greater tolerance towards spelling and grammar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;However, there are other aspects, such as a home page or commercial offering that are not among friends.

They have all provided rare material which he uses to great effect in his writing.Blogging, writing articles about Thailand and poetry, led to writing novels. With a literary bent, his character-driven stories are dramatic, suspenseful, thrilling and emotional. There are always romantic and sinister elements at play in his plots.James\\u2019 poetry drifts from the romantic to fear for the survival of our world, human rights and the darkness of death. Inspired by music, film, and literature. Shakespeare, Dickens, Hesse, Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan, among others, have all had a profound influence on his life, his writing, and the messages within.\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO Premium plugin. -->","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jamoroki.com\/authorindie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6990","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jamoroki.com\/authorindie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jamoroki.com\/authorindie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jamoroki.com\/authorindie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jamoroki.com\/authorindie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6990"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/jamoroki.com\/authorindie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6990\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15172,"href":"https:\/\/jamoroki.com\/authorindie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6990\/revisions\/15172"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jamoroki.com\/authorindie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11417"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jamoroki.com\/authorindie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6990"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jamoroki.com\/authorindie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6990"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jamoroki.com\/authorindie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6990"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
