<h1 align=center>How to Write in English[/h1]



Remember to never split an infinitive. The passive voice should never be used. Do not
put statements in the negative form. Don't use contractions in formal writing, and don't use no
double negatives. It is incumbent on one to avoid archaisms. Proofread carefully to see if you
words out or incorect speling. It has come to our considered attention that in a large majority of
cases, far too many people use a great deal more words than is absolutely necessary when
engaged in the practice of writing sentences. If you reread your work, you can find on rereading
a great deal of redundant repetition can be stamped out and removed by rereading and editing.


A writer must not shift your point of view. If the writer is considerate of the reader, he
won't have a problem with ambiguous sentences. Don't write a run-on sentence it's hard to read
you must punctuate it. If a dependent clause precedes an independent clause put a comma after
the dependent clause. But avoid commas, that are not necessary, and don't overuse exclamation
marks!!! Use the semicolon properly, always use it where it is appropriate; and never where it
isn't. Reserve the apostrophe and only use apostrophe's for plural's. In statements involving two
word phrases, make an all out effort to use hyphens, but make sure you hyp-

henate properly.


Take the bull by the hand and avoid mixing metaphors. Always pick on the correct idiom.
Avoid colloquial stuff, and trendy locutions that sound flaky. Also, avoid all awkward or affected
alliteration. Unqualified superlatives are the worst of all. Beware of and eschew pompous
prolixity, and avoid the utilization of enlarged words when shortened ones are sufficient.
Avoidification of neologisms strengthenifies your prosification. It is not resultful to transform one
part of speech into another by prefixing, suffixing, or other alterings. Perform a functional
iterative analysis on your work to root out third generation transitional buzz words. Steer clear
of incorrect forms of verbs that have snuck into the language. The de facto use of foreign phrases
vis-a-vis plain English in your written tete-a-tetes makes the sentence harder to understand.


Everyone should be careful to use a sigular prounoun with singular nouns in their writing.
Place pronouns as close as possible, especially in long sentences, as of 10 or more words, to their
antecedents. Writing carefully, dangling participles must be avoided. One will not have needed
Everyone should be careful to use a sigular prounoun with singular nouns in their writing. Place
pronouns as close as possible, especially in long sentences, as of 10 or more words, to their
antecedents. Writing carefully, dangling participles must be avoided. One will not have needed
the future perfect tense in one's entire life. If any word is improper at the end of a sentence, a
linking verb is. Write all adverbial forms correct. Don't verb nouns. Verbs has to agree with their
subjects, and the adverb always follows the verb. This sentence no verb. Which is not a complete
sentence, but merely a subordinate clause. A preposition is something you should never end a
sentence with. And don't start a sentence with a conjunction.


Last but not least, avoid dyed-in-the-wool cliches like the plague; seek viable alternatives.

Never seen that one before; must've taken the author quite a long time to write that. It's actually quite helpful, I think!!

Thanks!
