HOW TO WRITE GOOD:

Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.

It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.

Avoid cliches like the plague. (They're old hat)

Be more or less specific.

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

No sentence fragments.

One should never generalize.

Comparisons are as bad as clichés.

Don't use no double negatives.

Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake.

Use words correctly, irregardless of how others use them.

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

Go around the barn at high noon to avoid colloquialisms.

Even if a mixed metaphor sings, it should be derailed.

Who needs rhetorical questions?

Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.

Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.
