My biggest grips are lack of hyphens and commas in the correct place. Hyphenation example:
"These are pics of the big-breasted girl in accounting." Big and breasted must be hyphenated because they are required to accurately describe the girl. One of my teachers told me to use each adjective, separately, with the associated noun such as: "These are pics of the big girl in accounting." Sounds bad. Sounds very bad. "These are pics of the breasted girl in accounting." Sounds better, but what is a breasted girl? Therefore, these two words cannot stand by themselves and still make express the author's intent. Now, on to commas... Commas represent a pause in speech or a temporary change of topic. "These pics, which I have provided to all employees, are of the big-breasted girl in accounting, not engineering." "These pics which I have provided to all employees, are of the big-breasted girl in accounting not engineering." Without the commas, it is very easy to shift the focus, or change of topic to the wrong words or phrases. It causes the reader to slow down and re-read the content. My other suggestion is to keep paragraphs short with a double-space to separate them.
