Hints for Writers

       Cobbled together by Alan Medley (who he?)

 1. Avoid alliterations. Always.

 2. Prepositions are not suitable words to end sentences with.

 3. Avoid cliches like the plague.

 4. Eschew ampersands & abbreviations etc.

 5. It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.

 6. Contractions aren't necessary.

 7. One should never generalise.

 8. Foreign words and phrases are not 'a propos'.

 9. Profanity sucks.

10. Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.

11. Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake.

12. Who needs rhetorical questions?

13. Remember that anadiplosis is unnecessary - unnecessary and
    affected.
