So, how do you say 'you suck' without upsetting people?

Today's work-related question: is there a relatively non-contentious way of saying "your standard of written English is nothing like good enough for what you're being asked to do"? ;)

In other news, today I got paid for playing with Powerpoint all afternoon. I've been 'volunteered' to help with some training next month and as a result I've been writing training material and translating some of the stuff I've already written into Powerpoint slides. The offer was there to send the relevant information to our inhouse Training department and have them do it, but if they're all anything like A. who is supposed to be coordinating the training in question and who is about as much use as a chocolate teapot, I figured I would rather do it myself.

These aren't publically accessible documents but they're still writing them as a representative of the local authority so it's scary to think that the people creating these things have a professional qualification and yet still can't string together a coherent sentence in writing. What we're getting is people literally writing as they speak and not realising that, at times, the end result is almost incoherent. *sigh*
