What corporate America can't build: a sentence. Every time I consider teaching a writing course for my employer (in which I'm pretty sure there's interest), I stop and try to consider the level at which such a presentation would be most useful. Then I worry that the most I could do in an hour is spelling and punctuation. Then I drop the idea.

I'm exaggerating a bit. The comprehensibility of e-mail in my workplace is remarkably high, and I think my fellow employees would mostly be interested in higher level writing concepts. But not having taught a writing course before, I worry about the nature of a typical introductory composition course, and what it would do to my soul if I had to teach one.
