Business Messages – Why should business writers strive to use short, familiar, simple words? Does this dumb down business messages? Type the topic number and description you selected as your subject line (NOT included in your word count). Example: 4.4 Bad Writing

1. Key your post in paragraph form and justify your response with examples.
2. Your INITIAL POST must be a minimum of 200 of YOUR OWN words–no plagiarism allowed. This word count does not include the restatement of the question or question parts. Use quotation marks for any words directly copied from a source and provide a source note (Include a blank line between paragraphs for readability).
3. To maintain a spirit of efficiency and conciseness, please keep all INITIAL POSTS to a maximum of 400 words. (Feel free to use the Word Count and Spell Check features in your word processor, then copy and paste into the text box—but PLEASE do NOT use attachments for your post).
4. INITIAL POSTS will be graded for promptness, word count, content, originality, grammar, spelling, mechanics, and format according to the Discussion Rubric (under Assessments–click the right-arrow next to the rubric to preview it).
