The Search for America’s Worst Business Writing Here’s your chance to show the world just how bad it gets. You know those mystifying memos you receive from your president? Or the excruciatingly obscure emails your sales manager sends? Or the cryptic instructions from your IT department? Well now you can put all those maddening messages to good use. Submit them to The Best of The Worst - The Search for America’s Worst Business Writing. (If you’re really brave, submit your own writing.) We’ll read all the entries we receive (if we can stomach it). Then once a month we’ll pick the most horrible example as our Winning Loser. The Real Winner (that’s you) will receive a colorful new iPod. Plus we’ll read the Winning Loser’s writing on camera and publish the video on YouTube (and this site) so the rest of the world can suffer through it too. (Hey, you shouldn’t have to endure that stuff alone.) Best of all, we’ll revise the offending document using...
