How To Write Good

Thursday, 18 December 2008 13:01 by Writer's Relief Staff

Want to giggle over grammar? Check out the link below to a Web page posted by the University of North Texas. It’s a tongue-in-cheek guide to grammar/composition rules that will crack you up! Below is a short excerpt.

Don’t use a big word where a diminutive one will suffice.

Don’t use no double negatives. Don't never use no triple negatives.

No sentence fragments.

Corollary: Complete sentences: important.

Stamp out and eliminate redundancy.

Avoid clichés like the plague.

All generalizations are bad.

u no u can't do good, but u can try. I don't have no grammar to write of but no no means yes and that's a rap.
If you have two go I might want too go to!
We don't speak English, that's the truth, we speak American! Who says things like, "Bloody hell" that's English, Americans are a bit more earthy. "Right Chap"
Have fun with words and take time to laugh at yourself, or you could get too serious about your creations!
