For example, I learned a lot from edits on Gaming.SE about getting to the point of a question (and the merits of double-checking before posting). | |

Maybe building some sort of feature into Stackexchange to allow a person to translate and/or view the translation in a different language. Thoughts there? | |

Formatting (ha ha)

If someone regularly formats incorrectly or always writes "Hi" and their name then they need education, but spelling and grammar we can't do much about. | |
