Folks at my workplace are picky about the level of grammar proficiency lately. It is getting harder to deliver results. Not when you have to spend a fair bit of your time checking whether the choice of word or phrase you used in your work is grammatically correct, on top of presenting your recommendations in a logically and defensible way.
The decree has been so important that we would be quizzed of common usage of phrases or words at each meeting. For instance, what is the difference between a transitive and an intransitive verb? If this is not challenging for you, try explaining the following words:
- Previously vs Earlier
- Presently vs Currently
- Presently vs At Present
For those who are interested to know more about the former quiz, you could visit this website:
Review of Transitive and Intransitive Verbs. For the latter quiz, I will update everyone once I am told of the answers by the person who has been tasked to look into it.
