Herc, I believe the problem is twofold. First it is related to the lack of emphasis on English in the school systems. Secondly, engineers tend to concentrate on coding or hacking and push off or ignore documentation of any sort. A great web site probably needs a variety of talented people to be successful and pleasing to look at. I would recommend at least one person with a grasp of the written language, one person that is artistically inclined, and then the assorted technical and management types. I see the same thing every day at the various software companies that I work at. Everyone wants to code, but no one wants to write the specs, instruction manuals, etc, and checking over the grammar, spelling, etc., heaven forbid. I could probably spend a half hour and totally correct and reword the site so that it didn't have mistakes and misleading info. And then another person should spend 10 minutes checking my work, and then you could feel reasonably confident that the site was grammatically correct and accurate. Small price to pay for the satisfaction that your site doesn't look like a high school kid hacked it together.
