Writing Speaking – Personal Bloopers
If you are unemployed and are on a regular hunt for a dream job, you will most likely be having a number of interviews lined up in the coming weeks. Interviews are no ball game and can sometimes be very stressful for many of us. The key to cracking a dream job interview lies in the preparation that you do before it.
There are certain steps that you must take in order to ensure that the next interview is more successful and less stressful than the last one. There are many sources to learn what all you must talk about during your dream job interview. However, what we’re going to talk about in this article is not what you must speak? Instead, gain an understanding about what all you should not speak. There are some specific topics that should better be avoided in a job interview. Let’s throw some light on them as follows:
One such error, or blooper, appeared in a bulletin one Sunday and, to find out if anyone had noticed it, I asked a couple of people the following week if they had discovered my error. None did. In fact, one person I questioned read and reread the article and just could not see anything wrong. After telling her what line it was in, she still did not spot it, however, she thought it was quite funny when I pointed it out to her. Being an article about gathering food for the Full Shelf Food Pantry, she just could not see it until I pointed out that the “r” in Pantry was missing, making the word article about The Full Shelf Food Panty. Fortunately, not too many spotted that one, which I found out by asking quite a number of people about it. Also, fortunate for me, is the fact that I think most people just skim over articles in a bulletin and they have a mental note about what is being related to them in print so they miss seeing errors. On the other hand, there are always those who spot most anything and just love to tell others about them. In that case, it is best to just laugh with them about what appeared in print.
The police officer, my friend and my co-worker would all understand me. They would get the message I intended to convey. Does this mean that understanding English Grammar is unnecessary? This would be the case if it were only the meaning of our communications that were important. However, this is clearly not the case. Successful communication between two people involves not only the sender of the message, but also the receiver of the message. And the perception formed by the receiver of the message can be vitally important. This perception will be influenced by the manner in which the message is sent. If the conventions of Grammar are followed, the message may well be received more favourably since both the sender and receiver of the message are using the same system for communicating.
Needless to say, there were a number of other bloopers that appeared in our church bulletins during the 27 years that I served as church secretary. All were good for a hearty laugh and, I guess because of my character and personality, they loved to let me know when a really good one appeared. The best way to handle that was to laugh about it although I did tell some that I would do that on purpose, now and then, just to find out if they were paying attention to what I wrote in the bulletin. I realized that this was a little white lie but I felt the Good Lord would forgive me because I was only human and telling me about it was done in good humor.
The way language is used does matter. English Grammar rules may not be rules per se, but we are still bound by them. The effective communication of our intended meaning and the perception of our message by those that receive it depend upon communicators ‘playing’ by the rules. There are times that our communications need to appear professional and credible. This is why understanding English Grammar should be reinstated as a fundamental focus of our study of language at school
