Not in today age  Writing short and sweet and to the point  Not wordy longwinded  People got no patience and time  Has to capture attention in few seconds not even minutes I read one news in 1 min No patience if video is long winded

Your response shows clearly that you failed to grasp what I wrote earlier. Written proficiency in English has absolutely nothing to do with the length of any correspondence. Most of our PME workforce fail to articulate their words clearly and distinctly according to the rules governing the English language. This is hardly surprising that the majority of S'poreans are not proficient in the language. After all, an estimated 50% of households are ill equipped to support the use of Standard English.
