Big Stuff, Little Stuff: A Decennial Measurement of Executives' and Academics' Reactions to Questionable Usage Elements.
Gilsdorf, Jeanette; Leonard, Don
Journal of Business Communication, v38 n4 p439-75 Oct 2001
Investigates whether business executives and business communication academics were bothered by examples of perceived errors in grammar or usage. Finds usage elements that troubled readers most were basic sentence-structure errors (run-ons, fragments, nonparallel structure, and danglers); several usage errors may be in transition to acceptability; and executive readers were bothered less by the questionable usage elements, overall, than academic readers.
