1. Always avoid alliteration.
2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
3. Avoid clichés like the plague - they're old hat.
4. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are unnecessary.
5. It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.
6. All generalisations are wrong.
7. Foreign words are not a propos.
8. Comparisions are as bad as clichés.
9. Eschew circumlocatory methods of communicating the intended concept to the recipient.
10. Understatement is always best.
11. One-word sentences? Eliminate.
12. The passive voice is to be avoided.
13. If a mixed metaphor sings, it should be derailed.
14. Who needs rhetorical questions?
15. Exaggeration is a million times worse than understatement..
16. No redundancies; don't use more words than necessary; it's superfluous.
