I came across a rather nice little site today. I'm always gasping speechless at the basic disasters of design that happen on web sites. Even the most basic typographical rules are completely ignored.
What can you do? I believe it was Oscar Wilde who said that there is no point in arguing about matters of taste. Point out that double spaces after a full stop is just wrong, centring all your text and using six different typefaces in one document is ghastly and your friends may well just stop talking to you.
Matthew Butterick manages to explain every common mistake clearly and with humour. Just refer your friends to this site, they may just listen to a lawyer. They may even thank you for it.
