 | I hate myself for doing this on one level, but if you are going to look with wonder upon how many of your peers are unable to write good English, you should probably avoid a) using "amount" to describe a fraction or portion of a group rather than a total quantity, b) saying "either who can't spell or string a coherent, well-structured paragraph", which of course means that they either cannot spell or make a habit of stringing together coherent well-structured et cetera, c) using "it" to denote "an inability to use language" rather than "producing good written language", which it refers back to directly, or d) interchanging the plural pronoun "they" with the singular "one". And I'm not sure about the hyphen either.
This is a continuing quest for egalitarianism and mutual respect in a tough world.
