Rules for Writing Good

1.     Subject and verbs has always to agree

2.     Make each pronoun agree with their antecedent.

3.     Being bad grammar, the writer should not use dangling participles.

4.     Don't write run-on sentences, they are hard to read and punctuate them properly.

5.     Don't use no double negatives, not never.

6.     Don't use mixed metaphors because they are a pain in the neck and should be thrown out the window.

7.     Make sure to understand that a writer when he is writing something should not get accustomed to the habit of making use of too may redundant words that he does not actually really need in order to put his message across to the reader of what he has written.

8.     About sentence fragments. Not good to use.

9.     Try not to ever split infinitives.

10.                        Don't use a foreign word when there is an adequate English quid pro quo.

11.                        If you do use a foreign word phrase, it is de rigor to use it correctly.

12.                        It behooves the writer in his epistles to avoid archaic expressions.

13.                        Don't use hyperbole unless you're the one writer in a million who can use it effectively.

14.                        Avoid cliches like the plague.

15.                        But, don't use commas, ever, when they are not necessary, or important.

16.                        Don't abbrev. unless nec.

17.                        Proofread carelessly to avoid mistrakes.
