Absolutely correct...Ms. Shirodkar needs some guidance in English Language as "Personal Manager" is not correct usage, the correct usage is "Personnel Manager".

I agree with the large number of responders that the quiz was simplistic. But, I'm pained to note that a large number of responses are cheap, low-class, foul-languaged; their authors seem to be little-educated, uncultured, mixed with some indian language; I wonder why such people even respond; I wonder whether they understand the articles for which they respond! No wonder, the author has set such a simple quiz for such juvenile readers. REDIFF should filter out such third-rate, foul-language, indian-language-mixed responses; REDIFF should raise the intellectual level of this forum. ANY OF THE EDUCATED READERS AGREE WITH ME ??
too much abt the grammer or spelling when they speak or write english.. only we indian do.. frankly, i've seen many fools who just knows english and nothing else in india and think they r top of the world. english is over-hyped and bcom a status symbol.. britishers r really great to impose their culture, language or sports so powerfully on india..

Yes, you do have a need to convince yourself that grammar is not important. It is easy to see that from what you have written !
