Maybe, they should just have a New Members Guide when you first create an account. It will inform you on how to do things.
Thats just an idea. It can be improved to where it can help new members.
Of course, many will still not link or italicize things correctly, but it may still help.
The test thing sounds smart, but a little odd. But, you never know...
I think a better idea is being more constructive than destructive when telling someone they are hard to understand. Rather than saying "grammar" in a single word or mocking them by posting like they do, try suggesting that it was a bit hard to understand, so maybe running it through spell check and using punctuation on their next post would make it easier.
Most of the time I just see people here flame bad posters, without understanding that not everyone's first language is English or that maybe some people just aren't good with a keyboard.
