Hello to my new and long standing classmates. The very first person that came to mind as someone that demonstrates competent communication is my husband. He is a true wordsmith. He has the ability to bring out any emotion from his readers that he wants to. As much as I appreciate his ability to make anything sound professional I can not say that I have the desire to be like him. Yes, he can write a book and publish wonderful meaningful poems. However, he has the need to correct others when they speak, he appears to have the need to hear speech as correct as he writes. I get that when I am writing a paper or report for example that it needs to be professional. For my own comfort I prefer to have some down, relaxed time and that includes not being perfect and on task. I feel it just goes to show that there are probably as many kinds of communication as there are people.

Hello Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing that your husband can elicit different emotions from his readers. I always admire wordsmiths because they are able to put words together in such a creative, cohesive and understandable way. At first I was surprised when you said you do not wish to be like him but after reading your explanation I think I understood where you were coming from.
