I notice a lot of the people who write commit many avoidable errors of syntax and grammar. I submit this list of tips in the hope that it may help them.
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. It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.
5. Avoid cliches like the plague. (They're old hat)
6. Also, always avoid annoying alliteration.
7. Be more or less specific.
8. Parenthetical remarks (like the one coming up)(however relevant) are (usually) unnecessary (see?).
9. Also too, never, ever use repetitive redundancies.
10. Contractions aren't necessary and shouldn't be used.
11. Foreign words and phrases are not apropos, lei mi capisce?.
12. Do not be redundant; do not use more words than necessary; it's highly superfluous.
13. Comparisons are as bad as cliches.
14. Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake.
15. Eliminate commas, that are, not necessary.
16. Never use a big word when a diminutive one would suffice.
17. Use words correctly, irregardless of how others use them.
18. Understatement is always the absolute best way to put forth earth-shaking ideas.
19. Eliminate quotations. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "I hate quotations. Tell me what *YOU* know."
20. Puns are for children, not groan readers.
21. Who needs rhetorical questions?
22. Exaggeration is a billion times worse than under-statement.
And probably the most important one...
23. Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.
