Misguiding article.
by Benny on Jan 27, 2005 02:09 PM

Please dont take this article seriously.

Reasons:

1. On emails: Dont use archaic constructions. Use active words. Instead of the "please find...", use "sending the report, or whatever. Tell them the action expected of them in the first line itself. If you're sending a report for review, say "please review the report attached with this mail".

2. Of the suggested magazines, India Today isnt a great sample.

3. Of the authors, Camus isnt in. In fact, I am scandalized that the author puts Camus at par with Vikram Seth. Ridiculous!

4. From the exercises: "While reading a book, underline all the words you do not know". Hmmm... what an outrageous suggestion! A book is to be valued, unless of course, you're reading the Carlos Ruis Zafon book; disfiguring a book is sacrilege.
