Grammar Mistakes That Most People Make

May 09 2013

Silly grammar mistakes can really make one look dumb. Though a person might be very good at the subject being addressed, grammar mistakes can be a big turn off for the reader.

In academics, the role of language skill is as important as any other subject. In order to convey your answer, essay or whatever, you need to possess language skills. Rules of grammar direct you toward conveying your written message as clearly as possible. Without grammar to guide us, most of what we write would be meaningless, quite literally.

Here are some of the grammar mistakes that we can avoid and make our writing more meaningful and understandable.

You’re and Your: This is perhaps one of the most common mistakes that we make. Both these words sound almost similar but each of it is very different. “You’re” is actually a contraction of “you” and “are”. These two words are joined together to form “you’re”. On the other hand, “your” is a pronoun that defines possession or ownership as in, “is this your book?” “You’re expected to work on this project”. Now, try substituting ‘you’re’ with ‘your’ and you’ll find the sentence to be odd while making no sense. So, whenever you have a doubt whether ‘you’re’ and ‘your’ has to be used, try interchanging these words and you’ll understand the difference.

Their, There and they’re: ‘There’ and ‘they’re’ are also very similar to ‘you’re’ and ‘your’. Here also, “they’re” is contraction of ‘they’ and ‘are’, while ‘there’ refers to a location and ‘their’ refers to possession by a number of people. Some people have the habit of switching these words, which renders the sentence meaningless. Examples: They’re working very hard to meet the deadline. There is no place for a criminal to hide. It is the responsibility of the government to protect people and their properties. Now, in each of these examples, try to interchange the words ‘they’re’, ‘there’ and ‘their’ and check for yourself which is the correct sentence and you’ll know it immediately.

Effect and Affect: There is a lot of confusion among many people whether they should write ‘effect’ or ‘affect’, as they both are not only similar sounding words, but their meaning in many cases, seems to be similar and interchangeable. But in reality, they are two different words with two different meanings. While ‘effect’ is the result of some event, ‘affect’ is the influence that something has on another. Examples: ‘Good results are the effect of hard work and industry’. ‘A large donation shall not affect my decision to vote against’.

Then and Than: There is a lot of difference between ‘then’ and ‘than’. ‘Then’ is related to time and ‘than’ is used when comparing between things and events. Example: ‘Back then people did not worry about so many things’. ‘I am more than happy to see you’.

Who and Whom: Apparently, there is also confusion with regards to using ‘who’ and ‘whom’. Both these words are pronouns with very similar meanings referring to a third party. ‘Who’ is to define the subject of the clause and ‘whom’ is used to define the object of the clause. If the question is about a person, then ‘who’ should be used and if the question is about something related to a person then ‘whom’ should be used. Example: ‘Who had visited my office yesterday?’ Here the question is about the person who visited the office and other than visiting office, nothing else is related to the person in the sentence. ‘I don’t remember the name of the person whom I met 1 month ago for a brief period of time’ In this sentence, whom is appropriate because the object in the sentence is meeting a person 1 month before for a brief period of time.

These are some of the major grammatical mistakes that we make and we can easily correct them with little knowledge and practice. Remember not to skip those grammar classes the next time.

Parkinson’s Law

Dec 27 2012

Parkinson’s Law is an important law or theory which is useful in almost all business organizations and for the human resource management. In an ideal situation, an organization is comprised of skilled and experienced employees. The goal of most organizations is to maximize the output of each employee so that the output of the whole organization increases in the long run.

This is the general or the logical conclusion at which most people arrive at and hence think that almost all the organizations are following this philosophy. But, contrary to popular belief, the real world situation is not so. Here, we must also know human psychology as well because, human psychology plays a major role in all organizations in the most subtle manner.

This is where Parkinson’s Law or theory comes into picture. Parkinson’s Law can be further divided into two laws viz.,

  • The law of multiplication of subordinates and
  • The law of multiplication of work.

Parkinson was of the view that most employees in any organization view that they are overloaded with work. This could be real or imaginary or a combination of both. Working with such a state of mind for some years, the employee may be expected to

  • Resign from the current position,
  • Share his work with his colleagues and subordinates and
  • Appeal to the management to employ some more people for the work.

Out of the three options, the third option, which is hiring more people for the same work is universally accepted and some more people are employed. This employment can in turn result in the new employees thinking that they are overloaded with work and thus, a cycle begins.

Thus, according to Parkinson, we can arrive at four different deductions that

  • The number of employees shall increase irrespective of the workload and work done.
  • Every employee would eventually want a number of subordinates who can share his work and the employee might not want to share the work with equals who would be competing against him in sharing power.
  • Such hiring will increase the expenditure of the organization to maintain constant level of production or output.
  • Another major reason for concern is that this process can, not only increase the cost of production, but it can result in inefficiency as unnecessary work distribution in the organization can increase.

This theory is of particular importance in today’s business organizations as managers can keep a check on their employees’ performance or output and act accordingly to avoid work overload and distribute work efficiently across the organization.

Human Capital Management

Dec 27 2012

Human capital management is one of the emerging branches in human resources. Human capital is the accumulated worth of education, experience and skills present in employees which can be rented out to employers. The presence of skilled human capital today gives an edge in a cut throat competition, given the similar material capitals. It is the human creativity and ingenuity that has been playing a key role in designing new products and services and not the actual capital or the ‘smart’ machines.

Human capital is regarded as an important element of intangible assets in an organization. Other intangible assets which we are familiar with include patents, copyrights, customer relations, brands, good will and company image. We must understand that all these intangible assets except for human capital are only possible due to the presence of human capital. Without human capital, the other intangible assets are impossible, at least now.

These are just reasons to boast about. It is far easy to be said than done. Achieving the highest human capital efficiency is the dream of almost all organizations, even not for profit organizations. In other words, human capital is viewed as the bridge between the human resource policies and the business performance in terms of productivity put in by each employee in an organization.

Achieving excellence human capital management and in performance is not a onetime task, but it is an ongoing task. An organization must always try to achieve the higher productivity at the lower or stable costs, as there are no upper limits. This can be achieved when the employees in the organization are highly motivated. One important thing that managers must remember is that motivation is a state of mind and not all the employees are fully motivated all the time. So, there must be a constant motivation from the employer’s side.

A nation with population can turn majority of that population into human capital by imparting education, skill and there by experience. This is not a feat which can be achieved in a day or two, but it requires proper planning from the government by establishing schools, colleges and universities.

Here, one must understand that there is a difference between human capital and labor. While the former is concerned with skill, ingenuity and expertise, the latter is concerned with hard physical work.
