In the article “I won’t Hire People Who Use Poor Grammar. Here’s Why.”  http://blogs.hbr.org/cs/2012/07/i_wont_hire_people_who_use_poo.html written by Kyle Wiens. According to Mr. Wiens when people who applies to his companies; he would have them take a grammar’s test to see if they qualified for the position or not. He stated that “grammar is credibility” and he also said “Grammar signifies more than just a person’s ability…’ I’ve found that people who make fewer mistakes on a grammar test also make fewer mistakes when they are doing something completely unrelated to writing." I can see how he is trying to comparing a person with good grammar are likely be  better at other things but this is not always true. He also think in-order for the people to get a good job you need to know your grammars or otherwise you will not get hired from any of the companies out there. 

After reading this article I disagree how Mr. Wiens throws the application into the trash if they fails a grammar test. I think this is not fair to the others because by taking a grammar test, it doesn't really prove how much you know about writing. Also we humans make mistakes everyday in our life but we learn from those mistakes.  Another thing i disagree is how he said "good grammar is good business sense." In my opinion i think that good business is having different people with different skills and not to see how good his or her grammars are. Good grammar might help advertising the company and good communication skills between workers. Now that's being said grammar is just a regular process of writing and it doesn't really show how much a person knows his or her work ethic to the company.
