Written communication is essential in the work place, without clear and concise writing it is almost impossible to communicate thoughts clearly. I believe that work place memos and reports should be unambiguous with clear precise language.
In the Harvard article the point is to get to the point. Be clear in your writing, don't use unnecessary jargon. If you communicate effectively everyone wins. In the Owl article the point is that all correspondence should be revised and rewritten to ensure accuracy. Prof Reading helps to keep the message on point and easy to understand and enact. I have absolutely blundered work memos and emails. If I had taken more time and care I would have saved myself many headaches.

I believe, having good writing skills are a important part of being an employee. Dependent on the environment you work for it is more important than others.
Having good handwriting and explaining the importance of a task are my pet peeves. Both are important for the reader.
The most important part in the writing was to make sure the views in the paper were clear. If they were not then no one would understand them.
In the owl article I think the same; that if it was not written as well as it was then it would be a poor paper.
I believe this discussion paper would have been better for me if I would have done a better job in writing what was asked to have been read of me.
