This has also translated into TERRIBLE content on websites, as hand-holding applications for creating web pages let just anybody put content up on the company site. Typos! Excessive use of bold or italics! Stuffing graphics into spots too big or too small for them!
A friend who is a technical writer mourns the passing of the executive's personal secretary, as well. Company-wide communications used to be dictated to somebody who had a good idea how to turn them into solid sentences. Now executives write their own emails, and frankly, some of them just shouldn't!
