He found the average span for the digits was 9.3 items, while it was 7.3 for letters. Jacobs suggested it was easier to recall digits because it may be because there are only 9 digits whereas there are 26 letters. Miller wrote a memorable article called the magic number seven plus or minus two. He reviewed psychological research and concluded that the span of immediate memory is 7; people can cope reasonably well with counting seven dots flashed onto a screen but not many more than this. Miller also found that people can recall 5 words as well as they can recall 5 letters- we chunk things together and can remember more.

Willingham states that primary memory is limited to 2 seconds of acoustic code and four visuospatial objects. Semantic-based memory is not as limited because it utilizes a process known as “chunking.” Chunking in a process that increases the capacity of primary memory by having the secondary memory doing the translating, or encoding, using semantics. The reason that Primary memory is temporary is because interference and decay effect what can be stored in that area of the brain at one time. Any damage or factors that would prohibit the Primary Memory storing information effect that future or past memories have on the current information stored in primary memory. Decay is the biggest interference to the ability of Primary Memory and limits its capacity and the required attention to retrieve information.

In “Why you need Good Grammar” by Michael Kwan, the rhetor is trying to tell his audience that proper grammar is necessary in all scenarios, he states, “Professional business correspondence (including press releases) needs to be impeccable but you should also take a similar level of care to your blogging. Just because the book is called Booher’s rule of Business Grammar doesn’t mean that the rules only apply to the realm of business.” In this quote, Kwan amplifies the importance of good writing in and out of the workplace; he states that just because what you’re writing isn’t going to be presented for business matters, that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t take your time to present it with proper grammar.

Non-verbal communication plays an immense role in the process of exchanging information. To begin with, Mahrebian (cited in Thiel 1997: 9 and Mc Kay and Davis 2002: 59) states that the total impact of a message is a function of a following formula: TOTAL IMPACT = 7% VERBAL + 38% VOCAL + 55% NON-VERBAL This equation clearly shows that more than 50% of information is sent via our behaviour, and not as it might be expected words and phrases (Boczek 1999: 25). Furthermore, our listeners judge us not on the basis of what we say but how we say it (Turk 1999: 166). Next, Steward (2003: 125) notices that gestures are perceived to be genuine and highly believable (West and Turner 2004: 138). And finally, Ekman (cited in Knapp and Hall 2000: 35) states that non-verbal clues grasp the attention of the audience and make greater impression on them.
