What Corporate America Can't Build: A Sentence

In English class we read an article on the how communication is diffcult in buisnesses because many employees do not have good writing skills. They send confusing emails that cannot be understood. They overuse exclamation points and captialization. They also use slang and colloquial style writing that is not appropriate for business emails. Because of this on averge many companies spend as much to 3.1 million dollars annually on remedial writing training. I think that is ridiculous. People should not be able to graduate highschool or college with out learning how to write. No matter what the field, all careers involve writing. Writing through emails is the way that most companies commnicate, and a company that can't communicate can't operate. I think that all schools should require writing clases to help prevent this problem. People need to understand that you cannot avoid writing no matter how hard you try.
