keys to success

If you confirm an interview with Kyle Wiens with a note that says, "See you their," you'll never be hired at iFixit. Wiens, CEO of the San Luis Obispo, Calif.-based online repair community, won't hire anyone who uses poor grammar or misspells words. In fact, he thinks people who haven't mastered basic grammar deserve to be passed over, even if they're otherwise perfect for the position.

and from the comments in that same post: "Correct grammar, spelling, punctuation and sentence structure are the "secret handshakes" of the Information Age. Master them and doors will open."
