Abstract:

" Just yesterday I received a letter concerning my student loan status. The letter was signed by my bank officer. Under assumption that this man was a college graduate, I was appalled to find three punctuation errors and one misspelling in this letter. For me, this is proof that proper writing skills have been neglected by both the educational and business communities. I hope that the Learning Through Writing program is not too little, too late." Such was the comment about the Ohio State University's College of Agriculture's pilot program entitled "Learning Through Writing."
