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. De-accession Euphemisms. If Any Word Is Improper At The End Of A Sentence, A Linking Verb Is. Avoid Trendy Locutions That Sound Flaky. Last, But Not Least, Avoid Cliches Like The Plague.
