Likely if the company is happy with lousy writing in
its other materials, it would be just as happy with
lousy writing from you. This may be a good thing, if
it means you don't need to spend a lot of time defending
your style decisions to bureaucrats. You can even get
out on the cutting edge and start innovating to see if
you can enrich the language with novel phrases and
spellings. On the other hand, it may be a bad thing
if it means they don't recognize that you are bringing
skills to the workplace that other people don't bring.
