Response

Post a short response (250 words or less) summarizing what you have read, and responding to one or all of the following questions:

1. How can the clarity of writing cost or save an organization money?
2. Who decides the quality of business writing?
3. Why is it important for writing to convey the right emotion or nuance? Do you think finding the right tone is more or less important than avoiding grammatical and spelling errors? (This isn’t a trick question. I honestly want to know where you stand.)
