Just double-checked on Google Drive, and it *doesn't* do it that way, so I retract my vote and change it to "huh, weird"
If I delete a file from GDrive on Machine A, it will end up in the recycle bin on Machine B, but edits just flow through without any recycle bin shenanigans.

There's a fine line between crazy and free spirited and it's usually a prescription.

The web site, WriteAtHome™, offers a valuable service for teenagers, home schooled or traditionally schooled. I will leave it to others to evaluate how well they do.
The important issue is the poor quality of writing I see in the newspapers, memos, letters, blogs and books. We, engineers and scientists alike, are notoriously poor writers.
Can some of you post some url's of web sites that can actually help us improve our writing? The three key points should be quality of help, style of help and cost. As an employee of a .org, low cost is a major factor as I am not reimbursed for any courses I take. Others, however, may be luckier.
Thank you.
Lord, grant me the serenity to accept that there are some things I just can’t keep up with, the determination to keep up with the things I must keep up with, and the wisdom to find a good RSS feed from someone who keeps up with what I’d like to, but just don’t have the damn bandwidth to handle right now.

News agencies like CNN, outsource their writing to people around the world. For a lot of these people, English is not their primary language. I would argue that for some, it not their secondary language, either.

If you're leaving the judgement to others, you can't say it's "valuable", because that is not leaving the judgement to others.
You have to learn to avoid using any judgemental language at all, in formal docs.
But the biggest problem I've seen with material presented to me by engineers (software or otherwise) is in structuring the information -- poorly structured information is often of less use than no information.
Fix that before even thinking of taking on an on-line writing course, and also note that the majority of such courses are of extremely questionable value.
If enough people are interested, I can knock up a page explaining the basics/tips/tricks of structuring information.
I won't charge a penny for it, and it certainly won't be as useless as most of the on-line offerings I've seen.

Just exposing teenagers to writing is valuable. Too many of my children's tests were all short answer and multiple guess choice. I do not feel that sufficient emphasis was placed on constructing sentences and paragraphs. I was asked to help review the essay question on the application for a local college scholarship program and each and every essay was horrible.
As to your offer of a few pages explaining how to structure information, I am interested. I, for one, know that I am not a great writer.

I recommend Amazon.com. While writing certainly improves writing skills, having excellent examples to emulate helps a lot. I've read everything I could find in print most of my life, starting with the backs of cereal boxes at about age 4, assisted by parents who valued education. I always won second place in any spelling bee (Janet Stoner was my bane - she never missed a single word), and never scored less than 99% on any English exam; I blame reading.

Ancient grammar police what?
Without a verb, that's a dangling predicate (and I'm sure you don't want your predicate dangling in public).

Absolutely not thanks for the heads up!

I want to live in a world wherein I can dangle my predicate wherever and whenever I choose.
