Fewer meetings… not “less.” Why is it that professional conveyors of information can’t be bothered to master the language that undergirds their profession?
Cnn can’t afford someone who uses proper English
@alex tierney Is “Proper English” writing a sentence without a period at the end of the sentence.
@Word Warrior Lmao ok Karen.
They need to be replaced by Chat GPT
I found that retirement worked.
*FEWER*
Geez, I am an ESL immigrant, and even I know how to speak English better than a major USA news network .
Everyone should mail their US Rep a bar of soap and a note to cleanse themselves of George Santos. Imagine the impact of a few hundred or maybe even thousands of bars of soap Reps from all over the country getting a day might have. Pass it on.
I sent one to McCarthy too
Thank you Elon for restoring free speech
Biden 2022: Don’t you worry Ukrainians we have your backs. Like we did me and John McCain with Syrian rebels in 2012😂😂
Trump 2024: Who the heck are Ukrainians. Where the heck do they come from? No entry to Ukrainians in US😂😂😂

Nice video☝️🔥
This same video was posted yesterday, complete with the illiterate use of ‘less’ instead of ‘fewer’.
I’m craving a breakfast taco, wonder if Jill can go find me one, or does anyone know where Jackie is? Maybe she can get me one.
i wish cnn would get rid of don lemon for his crazy daily free speech. BRING ROBIN MEAD back and put her in that show with poppy and kaitlan!
That morning show is in a 10 year low in ratings since Don joined ! 🤡🤡
One way to end frequent meetings: hire people who have the ability to write informative and concise emails (or chats, Slack msgs, Teams msgs, etc.)! Also, we have to focus more on teaching writing skills to STEM students. This has become less of a liberal arts-only skill, and more of an essential skill which is needed to produce effective tech sector workers.
I work with a lot of engineers and developers and one thing that they’re consistently lacking is writing ability. I feel like if everybody could better express themselves, more effectively and efficiently, in chat groups and emails, then they wouldn’t feel the need to call so many meetings, so that they can express themselves verbally, instead.
Don`t you think it may be better to learn how to do it yourself? Why pay someone? Also, if you learn how to write about 6-8 basic forms that get what you want it will all be very easy. P.S. I teach people how to write effective emails. Any questions?
As a middle manager who also cannot decline numerous unnecessary meetings coming from above AND below: there’s a trend in my sector away from long-term transparent planning towards constant tmeetings and overcommunucation. About half our meetings could be eliminated by returning to the policies of long term stated goals and staff responsibilities. Instead, we trended toward what we were told is a ” Google” office model of constant meetings, and everyone second- guessing each other too. [Science field here]. I now spend 75% of my day responding to emails, many of which are unneeded “check ins”. There’s a productive happy medium; Humans need face to face and e-communication, but it’s gone too far. People should be able to think and work independently.
@E H What have you done about it? Do you think what you comment here will change anything?
Why was Don Lemon not on this morning ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
*Democrat 0 Bail is a 100 Fail!!*
lol Elon Musk sitting next to Rupert Murdoch at the Super Bowl!.. Was one of the Best Super Bowl moments!..
Blimey!!! Donny boyo Lemon is way past his prime and prime time!!! Cheers
If CNN doesn’t can Don Lemon, I’ll never be able to watch it without thinking about them tolerating his misogyny.
No prime cut Trump steaks for Mr. Lemon. Me tinks
Is Don Lemon past his prime ?
…or does his statement only apply to *women* ?
You know who lives in Ohio? Black voter’s senior voters latina voter’s list goes on. You know who doesn’t care? This administration.
Geez! Woke green energy AOC says we only have a few calendars left!!
I also see that if these EV vehicles catch on fire it takes well over eight hours to put them out.
Where is a gas vehicle 15 maybe 20 minutes so you would think a lot of people would say no to the EV. Not to mention all the crap you got to have just to make the battery that eats up a lot of gas you’re not using batteries to get to the minerals that makes these batteries so really what good are they
