Re: I've Applied For A Promotion

Here's a couple pointers to help you get the promotion, stop the needless arguing.  I noticed you like to argue.  If your job requires letter or memo writing you should know that your deliberate way of structuring a paragraph is not only odd but can be quite off putting. Here's what you do .

 

I am trying to get my point across.

 

I think I will write like this in short sentences

 

and sometimes in, incomplete sentences,

 

because my audience might be 5th graders. 

 

That's super annoying @Anonymous032819 , just to let you know.  People here put up with it but no one in a professional environment will. Good luck and I hope you get it!

I was a bit taken aback myself from that post.

People who write (or speak) with contractions just drive me to distraction, informal or formal writing.
