Sue Stewart asked <paraphrase> if anyone can be taught to write at the
level of a Shakespeare (or insert your favorite great writer here).
But Sue... surely you know that's what editors are for? <grin> More
seriously, I doubt there's any writer so bad that s/he can't improve
with some good coaching. Whether you can turn a monkey into
Shakespeare I'll leave to the behaviorists.
