Please go through the following scenario and let me know the following statement is correct..


Incident : The company requested it's one of employes to perform some tasks which are not matching with hi/hers professional or academic competency. ex: A medical doctor is asked to fix hardware issue of a Completer system.

so Can he say? "......the above tasks are out of my professional competence and I don’t possess adequate expertise on them" ? is it odd ? or what is the correct way of expressing this ?

Yes, and it's also wrong to start a sentence with a lower case letter and to use three question marks.

Here are the most important rules of written English:

- Start every sentence with a capital letter.
- End every sentence with a single, appropriate punctuation mark.
- Always capitalise the word "I".
- Capitalise all proper nouns (English, Hindi, Shakespeare, Microsoft etc).
- Do not put a space before a comma, full stop, question mark or exclamation mark.
- Always put a space after a comma, full stop, question mark or exclamation mark.

Read those rules, then look at what you wrote in post #5 and see if you can spot (and correct) the errors.
