How to write good.

[Rastoff]

1. Avoid alliteration always.
2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
3. Avoid cliches like the plague. They're old hat.
4. Comparisons are as bad as cliches.
5. Be more or less specific.
6. Never generalize.
Seven. Be consistent.
8. Don't be redundant; don't use more words than necessary; it's superfluous.
9. Who needs rhetorical questions?
10. Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.

Here's another just for fun...

Ode to the Spell Checker

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

Riting is easier than rithmatic.

It's OK. Those that get it, get it.

Just give some leeway to someone who has English as his third language. Please.

Good Writing

And remember; a preposition is not a proper word to end a sentence with.

And remember; a preposition is not a proper word to end a sentence with.

Straight from the 2nd department of redundancy.
