It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.  5.. Avoid clichés like the plague. (They’re old hat)  6.. Also, always avoid annoying alliteration.  7.. Be more or less specific.  8.. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are (usually) unnecessary.  9.. Also too, never, ever use repetitive redundancies. 10.. No sentence fragments. 11.. Contractions aren’t necessary and shouldn’t be used. 12.. Foreign words and phrases are not apropos. 13.. Do not be redundant; do not use more words than necessary; it’s highly superfluous. 14.. One should NEVER generalize. 15.. Comparisons are as bad as clichés. 16.. Don’t use no double negatives. 17.. Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc. 18.. One-word sentences? Eliminate. 19.. Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake. 20.. The passive voice is to be ignored. 21.. Eliminate commas, that are, not necessary. Parenthetical words however should be enclosed in commas. 22.. Never use a big word when a diminutive one would suffice. 23.. Kill all exclamation points!!! 24..
