| I can offer synonyms to use instead of the same, boring words. I can provide definitions, and teach you the proper usage of most (if not all) forms of punctuation.
I cannot comment on the history of writing, or the various forms of writing (Calligraphy, etc.).
I love to write. I love to teach. So, this is a wonderfully perfect job for me!
