English 420Y - Business Writing Online

First, I would like to comment on the Boss' Angry E-mail (Cerner Company). I didn't understand what growing up on a farm had to do with what he wrote. "You can take the boy off the farm," he said, "but you can't take the farm out of the boy."That puzzled me. I work on a farm and I work for someone who grew up on a farm in Oklahoma, and I just don't get the connection. Also, nothing about that whole situation surprised me. If that teaches anyone anything is becareful what you write because it's not like talking, all they have to do is print it out and show someone.

Feedback is always welcome!

My initial concept of this class is greatly changing. I am a firm believer that what you put into something is what you get out of it. I am encouraged to put more than 100% into this class because it has such practical application to my life and career success. My inital question is what is the difference between technical writing and business writing? The glossery words seem more technical as where the reading assignment is more business discussing a resume and job search.
