Heh, I wondered if anyone would take me to task.  “Well-written” would do 
better, I think.  I didn’t want a comma there as I was referring to English 
that was written rather than spoken as well; and well-written falls short as 
well, really.

But I’m glad to welcome you to my world of obsessiveness about it, Jez :-)
