with bad grammar, bad design, and so on.
A National Opinion Poll survey in 2005 concluded:
"Bad design, poor grammar
and atrocious spelling could be costing UK businesses
a staggering £41 billion a year in lost
sales.
74% of customers said
they would not trust businesses that used poor
spelling or grammar."

“Testimonials”*
"A
practical, enjoyable and insightful course ...
providing an interesting reminder of how much
I had forgotten and how easy it is to get into
bad habits! The course material is both useful
and accessible, and will undoubtedly prove invaluable
in the workplace, where I intend to put into
place some of the skills practiced during the
course."
- Debi Strawson, Perenco, Gt Yarmouth.
"Lots of useful ideas and smart tips to make
technical writing less scary - whether you are
updating an existing manual or writing from
scratch."
- J. Taylor, Manager, Employee Communications
and Development, RSPCA.
"This course is really going to save me precious time. I would recommend it
to anyone who has to write and maintain any
type of document. "
- Kyla Young, Operations Manager, Dataflow Communications.
"The most interesting parts for me were the exercises because I like the ‘hands
on’ approach. I find ‘to do’ is the best way
for me to learn. I also liked sharing ideas
with my colleagues and having the time to think
about how we can move forward with our documentation
project. I valued Philip’s input and suggestions."
