George Ellis, your friend and co-worker, has just stopped by your cubicle. He is upset because the new chief information officer (CIO) complained to George's supervisor about an e-mail George sent to the CIO regarding a reimbursement form. The CIO feels George's message was rude and condescending. She is new to the company and unfamiliar with your reimbursement policy. She thinks George is scolding her.

George showed you the message:

"Reminder: Could you please fill in all of the parts of your T90 form so that you can be reimbursed by the company? You did not complete the fields for the credit card number or the date of your meeting. You also must remember to sign the form. Reimbursement will be made once the form has been completed."

George does not understand what went wrong. As the person responsible for processing reimbursements for such things as entertaining clients or corporate travel, he frequently sends messages like this to employees

Where does George use active voice in his sentences (list all uses)?

Where does George use passive voice in his sentences (list all uses)?

Online reviews influence US shoppers

NEW YORK: Almost four-in-five (78%) American consumers read online reviews before making a purchase decision and at least half (52%) read four or more before they feel they have enough information, a nationwide study has shown.

According to research firm YouGov, the main reasons given for accessing reviews are to ensure the product or service is of good quality (79%), that it works (61%) and to make sure they don't get ripped off (53%), Marketing Charts reported.

Written content is important for 90% of US consumers, but interestingly the study found they attach similar levels of importance to a reviewer's star ratings.

Overall, 87% who read any online reviews find the star ratings to be important to their purchase decision and just over a third (34%) think they're "very important".

The most read reviews are for electronics (53%), household appliances (43%), car purchases (40%) and hotels or short-term room rentals (36%).

But, while the great majority of Americans turn to reviews to aid their research, they remain sceptical about some of the claims made in them.

Most do find reviews trustworthy, but only 13% believe they are "very trustworthy" and a full 90% believe that some people review products and services without trying them.

A similar proportion (91%) believe companies write their own positive reviews and 89% think businesses write negative reviews about their competitors.

Among those who do post online consumer reviews, 62% are motivated by wanting to help others while 35% feel it is polite to leave feedback.

More than a quarter (27%) want to share a positive experience, 25% want to help good vendors to gain business while only 12% are seeking to expose bad ones.

Finally, it appears reviewers from the Midwest are more reliable than those in other parts of the country because they admit to significantly fewer fraudulent reviews.
