You should do so because they are different skills. You may well desire both in a colleague, but you should not assume the someone who can't communicate fluently can't code correctly. In fact I have a sad example to hand, someone who recently had a stroke which has robbed them of their fluency (and correctness) in language, but who can code as well as ever. > (This policy should also apply to /anyone/ earning an above-average > wage. If we can sneak this idea into employment legislation...) Fortunately his employer is more enlightened than this and he still has, for the time being, a job. -- Ben.
