The lost art of writing

Thoughts on sucky writing skills in the business world, from Peter Bowerman.

Is this really good news for those of us who write for others for a living? Or is it bringing the average down?

I would imagine the trend is transparent, even for those who aren’t professional communicators. But since I’m a professional communicator and think about these kinds of things, I don’t really know if that’s true.

Is it? Do you feel that communication skills, writing especially, have gone downhill, and that it’s affecting competitiveness? And what is your perspective–professional communicator or not?
