To me the problem with this suggestion is that Bean's been like this for years and there's been no visible improvement whatsoever. Every year their ~prose is just as horrible as the previous year. The endless weird notes and footnotes aren't going away.

Honestly speaking they don't seem like a person who could learn to improve because they're, how should I put this, physically incapable of that process. This is their peak level. The absolute least mods could do is ask potential recips before assigning them if they'd be fine with it. Who knows, someone might be. Some are more into writing than getting a legible gift. Let them take the bullet.
