    The first military draft in the United States was shortly after the Iraq war. This draft was started by Senator Ernest Hollings and Representative Charles Rangel.

If poor grammar is inhibiting students from getting a job after college, grammatical principles of writing should be more heavily emphasized within the college curriculum.

Additionally, blogs posted by employers showed how poor grammar reflects negatively on the applicant’s intelligence. Finally, interviews with employers allowed us to ask specific questions about the feelings surrounding poor grammar in the workplace.…
