29 Rules for Writers:
30 Avoid run-on sentences they are hard to read. Don't use no double
31 negatives. Use the semicolon properly, always use it where it is
32 appropriate; and never where it isn't. Reserve the apostrophe for it's
33 proper use and omit it when its not needed. No sentence fragments.
34 Avoid commas, that are unnecessary. Eschew dialect, irregardless. And
35 don't start a sentence with a conjunction. Hyphenate between
36 sy-llables and avoid un-necessary hyphens.
37 Write all adverbial forms correct. Don't use contractions in formal
38 writing. Writing carefully, dangling participles must be avoided. It
39 is incumbent on us to avoid archaisms. Steer clear of incorrect forms
40 of verbs that have snuck in the language. Never, ever use repetitive
41 redundancies. If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times,
42 resist hyperbole. Also, avoid awkward or affected alliteration. Don't
43 string too many prepositiona phrases together unless you are walking
44 through the valley of the shadow of death. "Avoid overuse of
45 'quotation "marks."'"
