You might think that good grammar is a myth, a pipe dream, and something out-of-date in this day and age of shoot now, apologize later. Indeed, when text language seems to litter the forums and mailing lists of the Internet universe, and where writers and editors are readily available, grammar doesn't seem so important anymore.
Despite all these, however, good grammar is a must anywhere. Think: how would you react if you received a poorly-worded, poorly-constructed application for a post at your company? Would you let the person in if his or her job demanded great writing skills? Now start getting your grammar skills working!
Not everyone knows everything about good grammar, so you can use the Purdue Owl Website as a guide (access it through http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/grammar/). When in doubt, do research. You may have to work harder to get your writing finished, but hey, at least you can say you did your best, right?
