A few more rules for writing:

The passive voice should never be used.

Do not put statements in the negative form.

The writer must not shift your point of view.

And don't start a sentence with a conjunction.

DO NOT overuse exclamation points and all caps to emphasize!!!

Place pronouns as closely as possible, especially in long sentences, as of
10 or more words, to their antecedents.

If any word is improper at the end of a sentence, a linking verb is.

Everyone should be careful to use a singular pronoun with singular nouns in their writing.

Always pick on the correct idiom.

Never use a preposition to end a sentence with.

Don't verb nouns.

Don't never use no double negatives.

Each pronoun agrees with their antecedent.

When dangling, watch your participles.

Eliminate commas, that are, not necessary. Parenthetical words however should be enclosed in commas.

About those sentence fragments. Remember subject, verb, object.

Try to not ever split infinitives.

Use the apostrophe in it's proper place and omit it when its not needed.

Correct speling is esential.

Between you and I, case is important.

Verbs has to agree with their antecedents.

When composing informal documents, employ the vernacular.

Eschew ampersands & abbrevs, etc...

Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are (usually) unnecessary.

Contractions aren't necessary and shouldn't be used.

In all cases, you should never generalize.

Eliminate quotations. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said: "I hate quotations. Tell me what you know."

Avoid the use of dyed-in-the-wool cliches like the plague; they are old hat.

Comparisons are as bad as cliches.

Don't be redundant; don't use more words than necessary; it's highly superfluous.

Usually, you should be more or less specific.

Understatement is always the absolute best way to put forth earth-shaking ideas.

Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.

Simplify! How? Eliminate one-word sentences.

Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake.

Go around the barn at high noon to avoid colloquialisms, ya know?

Even if a mixed metaphor sings, it should be derailed. Who needs rhetorical questions?

Use words correctly, irregardless of how others use them.

If you've heard it once, you've heard it a thousand times: Resist hyperbole; not one writer in a million can use it correctly.

Puns are for children, not groan readers.

Run on sentences cause all sorts of problems for readers and people should never use them and must try to write better and divide their sentences.

Use the semicolon properly, always use it where it is appropriate; and never where it isn't.

Hyphenate between sy-llables and avoid un-necessary hyphens.

Use hyphens in compound-words, not just where two-words are related.

Be carefully to use adjectives and adverbs correct.

It is incumbent on us to eschew archaisms.

Steer clear of incorrect forms of verbs that have snuck in the language.

Don't string too many prepositional phrases together unless you are walking through the valley of the shadow of death.

"Avoid overuse of 'quotation' marks.'"

Never leave a transitive verb just lay there without an object.

Only Proper Nouns should be capitalized.

a sentence should begin with a capital letter and end with punctuation In letters compositions reports and things like that use commas to keep a string of items apart.

Vary your words variously so as to use various words.

Good writers do not use one verb tense in one part of a sentence, and then have switched to a different tense in the next.

Always be looking out for "be" verbs, for they are supplying verbiage all scholars are discouraging.

Use delightful but irrelevant extra adjectives and adverbs with sparing and parsimonious infrequency, for they unnecessarily bloat your otherwise perfect sentence.

Bee careful two use the write homonym.

Beware of malapropisms. They are a communist submersive plot.

Join clauses good like a conjunction should.

Continuity of thought, logical development and smooth transitions are important. Never leave the reader guessing.

Sentences without verbs--bad idea.

Use parallel structure when you write and in speaking.

Proofread carefully to see if you words out.

Writing Tip: If any word is improper at the end of a sentence, a linking verb is.
