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.

It looks like telling her might end up with you getting all her job, which is not a good idea... How about using some of your stuff as reference? Call it style guide?

Am not the best person to give advice. Every time someone in my office writes anything in English, they ask me for help, and when you have other things to do, it can get very annoying.
