TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Unfortunately, it is none of your business. I wish it were different, but
unless you can get management to buy into your way of thinking, it will be
seen as a waste of your time and others'. My tack would be to get management
buy in, by showing/proving/arguing the difference it would make. Then it
becomes your job to edit/proof. Provided, of course, you have time. In which
case, you're lucky!
My 2 cents this Friday afternoon.

To what extent is it any of my business how well my colleagues write?
