I am willing to bet that his style in his native language isLew said:/The Elements of Style/, by Strunk and White, is recommended in your case.

The least you can do is to suggest an appropriate book to improve his
English rather than a book aimed at proficient English speakers.

What makes you think the person's native language is not English? I see no
evidence for that assertion.
Unless you count "l33t" as a non-English language, which I might endorse.
Actually, I see no evidence the OP was asking a question. I parse the
message as "I wanted you to know which book is good for JSP/J2EE/servlet
beginners", but then they never told us.
Unless someone explicitly apologizes for their lack of command of English,
I will hold it a given that posting in English implies the most basic
familiarity with English syntax and orthography.
As to the point of the recommended book being too advanced, you are right.
Next time I will recommend /Dick and Jane/ and a subscription to /My
Weekly Reader/.

Gordon said:In a recent thread, someone asked why so many people work so hard to
answer other peoples questions. I find the current trend to be in
stark contrast with the altruism expressed in many of the replies to
that question.

Stefan said:»Secondary school students will be able to use text speak
in written examinations this year, legitimising a language
loved by teenagers.
The move has divided students and educators amid concerns
the move could damage the English language.
The second language of thousands of teenagers, text
language usually incorporates abbreviated words and
phrases such as txt for "text", lol for "laugh out loud"
or "lots of love" and CU for "see you".«

I am sure looking forward to having a crop of illiterate, undereducated
coworkers to come out of this system. There was a recent thread where
many folks endorsed the notion that effective communication skills are
necessary for success as a programmer. If we do not help people
recognize that "l33t" does not effectively communicate, nor is
professional, then they will be hampered by their own lack of skill
forever.
Do we not owe it to folks in this forum to help them advance?
My god! Is everyone on the edge or something?
What is wrong with answering questions with a gentle reminder to try to
avoid 1337 speak and text message abbreviations . . . rather than
replying with just an insult and no useful information?
I feel like I'm in alt.games.*

Randolf Richardson said:Myself, and a number of people I know who are in positions to hire
people, ignore resumes that are written in this style because bad English
always reflects poorly on the public. Proper English style (or at least
an attempt to get it right) is something that can be taught, but typically
those who go out of their way to reduce English to this cryptic style make
themselves look ignorant.
. . and
be more "Gentle" in your approach.
WTF? Resumés written in l33t?
That's insane.
The most unprofessional thing I ever did involved some mild sexual
inuendo about getting "the head" of a tree structure which I had
named Betty. I didn't remember doing it . . but I felt a little
stupid during a code review meeting once. Everyone chuckled - but
I felt sincerely stupid about the incident.
