I can absolutely believe it.
Just having potential employees write a five-sentence paragraph can tell you a lot.
In the end, it doesn’t matter much; if larger companies don’t have their allotment of employees from the Island of Broken Toys, then they are sued for tons of money - and must take on extra toys as reparations. This isn’t even concealed in companies with government contracts, or those offered tax breaks to locate in urban sh!tholes.

Indeed it does.
I used to belong to a private web forum where the owner required those who wanted to join to write a short explanation of why they wished to join. It was a real eye opener for him to receive paragraphs without a single coherent sentence. A large majority of the world populace are challenged to pen a well written description of anything without the aid of smilies and emoticons!
