13 Rules for Better Writing!
« on: May 12, 2011, 11:41:03 pm »
1. Verbs HAS to agree with their subjects.   
2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.   
3. And don't start a sentence with a conjunction.   
4. Avoid cliches like the plague.   
5. Be more or less specific.   
6. Also too, never, ever use repetitive redundancies.   
7. No sentence fragments.   
8. Contractions aren't necessary and shouldn't be used.   
9. One should NEVER generalize.   
10. Don't use no double negatives.   
11. One-word sentences? Eliminate.   
12. Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake.   
13. Puns are for children, not groan readers.
