Why Grammar Matters More Than You Think for Your Career

A study by Global Lingo found that 59% of consumers would not use a company that had obvious grammatical or spelling mistakes. In a professional context, every email, Slack message, and report either builds or erodes your credibility.

The Hidden Cost of Grammar Errors

Common Mistakes to Eliminate

• Its vs. It's — "It's" always means "it is" or "it has"
• Their/There/They're — Possessive, location, contraction
• Affect vs. Effect — Affect is usually a verb, effect is usually a noun
• Loose vs. Lose — Loose = not tight, Lose = to not win
