[Closed] Decline in writing standards

Glad it's not just me. My background is technical (cryptographer) so in theory I should be rubbish at riting.
Some of it is so obvious though and that is what scares me I suppose. After I have corrected words I then try and understand what is being said and a lot of the time its a collection of statements with no structure. I put together a 1hr session to talk about presenting information and quite honestly it was an eye opener. My wife is better than me at this as well so she picks my stuff apart. It's not about being smart or posh or anything of that ilk, it's about good standards both written and spoken.
That stuff is not valued any more and I for one have a lot riding on my reputation so will not let stuff leave if its not of the highest quality.

if the hyphen (which typographically-speaking should be an em dash) stands for the word "to", then "between" is utterly tautologous and should be omitted
