$ fortune | cowsay _________________________________________ / Rules for Writers: \ | | | Avoid run-on sentences they are hard to | | read. Don't use no double negatives. | | Use the semicolon properly, always use | | it where it is appropriate; and never | | where it isn't. Reserve the apostrophe | | for it's proper use and omit it when | | its not needed. No sentence fragments. | | Avoid commas, that are unnecessary. | | Eschew dialect, irregardless. And don't | | start a sentence with a conjunction. | | Hyphenate between sy-llables and avoid | | un-necessary hyphens. Write all | | adverbial forms correct. Don't use | | contractions in formal writing. Writing | | carefully, dangling participles must be | | avoided. It is incumbent on us to avoid | | archaisms. Steer clear of incorrect | | forms of verbs that have snuck in the | | language. Never, ever use repetitive | | redundancies. If I've told you once, | | I've told you a thousand times, resist | | hyperbole. Also, avoid awkward or | | affected alliteration. Don't string too | | many prepositional phrases together | | unless you are walking through the | | valley of the shadow of death. "Avoid | \ overuse of 'quotation "marks."'" / ----------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
