Always pick on the correct idiom.
If any word is improper at the end of a sentence, a linking verb is.
Don't never use no double negatives.
Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake.
Even if a mixed metaphor sings, it should be derailed.
Puns are for children, not groan readers.
Sentences without verbs--bad idea.
Puns are for children, not groan readers.
Run on sentences cause all sorts of problems for readers and people should never use them and must try to write better and divide their sentences.
Use the semicolon properly, always use it where it is appropriate; and never where it isn't.
Hyphenate between sy-
llables and avoid un-necessary hyphens.
Use hyphens in compound-words, not just where two-words are related.
Be carefully to use adjectives and adverbs correct.
It is incumbent on us to eschew archaisms.
Steer clear of incorrect forms of verbs that have snuck in the language.
"Avoid overuse of 'quotation "marks."'"
