Thoughts on hiring those with poor grammar
“Everyone who applies for a position at either of my companies, iFixit or Dozuki, takes a mandatory grammar test. Extenuating circumstances aside (dyslexia, English language learners, etc.), if job hopefuls can’t distinguish between “to” and “too,” their applications go into the bin.”

I am not surprised by this at all, but its a bit of a diss, just because you have poor grammar doesn’t mean you are not intelligent, but it surely sounds that way. And we all know it, though we may not realize that when it comes do doing business there is a vernacular to every kind and you have to be fluent or at least familiar with it. Without that fluency, you might not even make it to the door… as if you needed another barrier towards gainful employment.
