_________________________________________
/ William Safire's rules for writing as \
| seen in the New York Times |
| |
| Do not put statements in the negative |
| form. |
| |
| And don't start sentences with a |
| conjunction. |
| |
| If you reread your work, you will find |
| on rereading that a great |
| |
| deal of repetition can be avoided by |
| rereading and editing. |
| |
| Never use a long word when a diminutive |
| one will do. |
| |
| Unqualified superlatives are the worst |
| of all. |
| |
| If any word is improper at the end of a |
| sentence, a linking verb is. |
| |
| Avoid trendy locutions that sound |
| flaky. |
| |
| Never, ever use repetitive |
| redundancies. |
| |
| Also, avoid awkward or affected |
| alliteration. |
| |
| Last, but not least, avoid cliche's |
\ like the plague. /
