You know how it goes, every other day you'll find someone whether it be at an internet forum or on a spec doc whose literary efforts can be described as abysmal.
These kind of people try to write something intelligently but often come off as a complete jerk.
These kind of people could be kick-ass coders but fail to write any comment of coherent line of thought and leave the meaning unclear.
These kind of people try to make a valid point but instead accidentally offend several nationalities on their effort.
It is a curse, I tell you! Sometimes it is better if they stayed away from text. But they can't stay away as we are all dependent on written communication. The future of Internet depends on it!
So to help these poor illiterate souls, does anyone know of any good reference on how to become a better writer without actually becoming a writer? Also, how can I convince the textually challenged to become enlightened spirits of the written language (without coming off as an elitist prick)?
