SUMMER SCHOOL DAY 2
More rules for writing real good.
1. Resist Unnecessary Capitalization.
2. Avoid mispellings.
3. One-word sentences? Never.
4. Never, ever use repetitive redundancies.
5. Who needs rhetorical questions?
6. And don't start sentences with conjunctions.
7. If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times, exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.
8. Never use a big word when you can utilize a diminutive word.
9. Profanity sucks.
10. Last but not least, even if you have to bend over backward, avoid cliches like the plague.

I can't tell you how much I am enjoying these!!
I love this and sent it to one of my friends who is still teaching English ;)
This is so true.. in more ways than one. I used to be a real stickler for writing real good... but, through blogging, I have seen the error of my ways and I have quickly learned just how much fun a few misplaced grammatical errors can be. :-)
These are wonderful.
I really like these rules. I keep getting in trouble in writing class when I take in some of my blog posts and the teacher leaps on a cliche'.
