Grammar Girl’s Quick And Dirty Tips For Language At The Office
Category: Business
Duration: 00:38:36
Publish Date: 2018-11-26 02:05:00
Description:

Mignon Fogarty, also known as Grammar Girl, joins us today to answer your questions about language in the workplace: like, “Is it one space or two after a period,” or “Can I use ‘asap’ in a work email,” or the classic, “Why do we love verbing our nouns?” Then, Liz and Rico go over your passive-aggressive email techniques and touch on some more Lingo Bingo oddities (bonus points if y’all can make “frippery” catch on at your office). And we help listeners Lisa, whose talent evaluation took a weird turn with questions like, “Do you feel your parents sacrificed for you, why or why not,” and Tom, who’s leaving his first job but doesn’t know how or when to break the news to his boss.

You can find Grammar Girl’s podcast, “Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing,” here on Apple Podcasts, and you can read more on her website, https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/

Don’t forget! We’re working on a bunch of special episodes (Liz & Rico AMAs, your ultimate office, and a very NOT Safe For Work episode), so if you have a question, don't hesitate to send us an email. You can reach us at Safe@Wondery.com, or you can leave us a voicemail at 424-224-5711. You can also find us on Twitter — we’re @SafeFor Work — and don't forget to follow our sage hosts on Twitter, too; they're @SSLiz and @RicoGagliano.
