Wanna play?
Because it’s Friday, I’m in the mood to play. For geeks like me, puzzles like those found at the Linguistic Society of American’s (LSA) site are a terrific diversion. They were designed for native English speakers. (There are linguistics puzzles in other languages at International Linguistics Olympiad.) If you like word games, try one of these linguistic puzzles with…

2014 at Pros Write
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for Pros Write. My sabbatical, which allowed me to concentrate on research projects, distracted me from posting as much as in past years. (Did you hear that, Will?) Thanks for reading. Happy New Year! Here’s an excerpt: The Louvre Museum has 8.5 million visitors per year….
Guest Post: Analysis of Nelson Mandela’s Leadership in “Invictus”
My name is Jessica Crew. I’m a graduate student at the University of Alabama studying Communication Studies and have a personal interest in business and organizational communication. For these reasons I enrolled in Dr. Campbell’s Leadership Communication course. The exam below is an analysis of Nelson Mandela’s effectiveness as a leader in the movie Invictus. This was…
Richard Branson — pro writer
I already shared this on twitter but thought it was worth sharing here as well because I have a different set of followers here on Pros Write. Branson’s description of his process and what he does and does not delegate will help you understand a piece of what it means to be a pro writer. How…

I am here to deepen my knowledge in management and communication in order to become an effective leader in my future. I will begin my required internship in only…
They got to be kidding. “No deadlines”? My professors seem to have deadlines to meet.
And don’t tell the professors over in the studio courses (those who need to operate heavy machinery and/or hazardous substances) that there are no environmental hazards. In any art setting one of the first things you get told is always “safety.”
And we’ve not even touched science or engineering yet.
Those guys at CNBC are absolutely clueless.
Forbes ran the same story at http://www.forbes.com/sites/susanadams/2013/01/03/the-least-stressful-jobs-of-2013/ — apparently lifted from one found at CareerCast. VERY sloppy journalism!
Wow, this sheds an entirely new light on the credibility of those career sites. If even a student like me can see that the article is almost 100% fact free and yet they published it as if it were a neutral, objective article, I wonder whether we can believe anything on those sites. We’re not even talking about taking them with a grain of salt here…
Preach it, sister! I love the points you make here (and the way that you make them). When I posted my blog post on this Forbes article http://wp.me/p2VVAw-Y, I didn’t expect to meet a colleague at the same university who was also a blogger and would address this topic. Nice to “meet” you.
Hello! Strange that we had to “meet” here. The online world is a strange place!
