1/2 How to write good. 1. Avoid alliteration. Always. 2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with. 3. Avoid clichés like the plague. (They're old hat.) 4. Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc. 5. One should never generalize.
Eschew sesquipedalianism
You almost got me with this one lol
On the subject of number 2: “This is the type of arrant pedantry up with which I will not put.” - Churchill
TIL what "old hat" means
how bout just flipping a coin or spinning a bottle to see where a journey takes you...
Well done!
2/2 6. Comparisons are as bad as clichés. 7. Be more or less specific. 8. Sentence fragments? Eliminate. 9. Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement. 10. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are unnecessary. 11. Who needs rhetorical questions?
Avoid the temptation to ever split infinitives.
