Maybe people CAN'T Write?

Is that it? I thought it was some sort of South Florida malaise or even some sort of cellphone symptom.

I have ranted before about how work orders and so on have to be in writing. But I'm still finding that people pay no attention.

It never occurred to me before but maybe they just can't write?

I had given them the benefit of the doubt and thought that maybe is was part of the relaxed South Florida lifestyle. But that won't work because our clients are from all over the world. Then I thought that its the cellphone/texting generation; the fact that so many people have been brought up to communicate without ever writing a word.

But then I realized that if you can send an email, which most people can do, them you CAN communicate using the written word.

So why are people so reluctant to put things in writing?

"Oh, I mentioned it in a phone call" is NOT a work order.

I hope you didn't miss the link above. Here it is again. If you're not putting things in writing, why is that?
