How is it that so many people do not use, or know how to use, proper English grammar and spelling?

We Answered:

Two primary reasons lead to such activity. One is that quality teachers are rather uncommon and the approach most schools take are not conducive to good grammar. The assumption is that if a kid reads that is all he needs. He isn't taught to interpret, he isn't taught grammar directly, and he isn't monitored or tested for either.
The other reason is that most pupils and students find reading "boring." This is partly the fault of the problem above but also from the fact that they are taught no context for literature. Eudora Welty points out in an essay on reading that children need to be taught mythology and early human literature just as they are taught math before algebra.
In short, it is the result of prevalent semi-literacy.

I also feel that Deloitte is fitting for my abilities and will be a great asset to the development of my professional Accounting and personal skills.

English grammar: The use of "doesn't matter" and "no matter" in a certain context?

We Answered:

As others have said, "doesn't matter" or "it doesn't matter" is preferable in this situation.

Your question needs a slight revision. Use either "Should I dress in the . . . " or "Should I wear the . . . . " "Wear" is more common.

Geraldine Said:

English grammar: Use of one, one’s / they, their, them?

We Answered:

You can't mix them together! It wouldn't really make sense about who you're talking about.
You could, instead use 'we' i.e. 'as we get on with life in the present' so you are talking about both yourself (one) and others (them)
Hope that helped! x

rules of japanese grammar and use of english letters?

We Answered:

Like any language, there are tons of rules. Invest in classes or some sort of audio course, such as Pimsleur.

And don't use romaji (Japanese written in roman letters). Japanese may occasionally write stuff in English (in general, not necessaily romaji), but for the most part they use hiragana, katakana, and kanji. Learn their writing systems.

EDIT: If you use Pimsleur, be sure to invest in some workbooks or something that will teach you to read and write.
