Some tips for writers

 

 

Since we're now living in the time of e-mail (and blogs
and texts and Tweets) and the more common use of the written
language, it is time for an English lesson.

So, with tongue firmly in cheek, here are some rules to keep
in mind when using the Queen's Engerlish:

1. Verbs has to agree with their subjects.

2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.

3. And don't start a sentence with a conjunction.

4. It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.

5. Avoid cliches like the plague. (They're old hat).

6. 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. No comma splices, run-ons are bad
too.

11. Contractions aren't helpful 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 cliches.

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. Use words correctly, irregardless of how others use them.

25. Understatement is probably not the best way to propose
earth shattering ideas.

26. Use the apostrophe in it's proper place and omit it when
its not needed.

27. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "I hate quotations. Tell me
what you know."

28. If you've heard it once, you've heard it a thousand times:
resist hyperbole; not one writer in a million can use it
correctly.

29. Puns are for children, not groan readers.

30. Go around the barn at high noon to avoid colloquialisms.

31. Even if a mixed metaphor sings, it should be derailed.

32. Who needs rhetorical questions?

33. Exaggeration is a million times worse than understatement.

34. Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.

 

Funnies

hospital waiting for their wives to give birth.

Soon, a nurse came out from the delivery room and told
the first daddy:"Congratulations, you've twins!".

"Oh!..... maybe it's just a coincidence" said the
daddy,"as I'm working at the Petronas Twin Towers".

Then another nurse came out of the room and told the
second daddy:"Congratulations, you've triplets!"

"Wooow!, this is a coincidence,too" said the second
daddy."I am working for 3M Corporation".

A while later, another nurse appeared and told the
third daddy: "Congratulations! your wife got
quadruplets"

"Thanks God. Perhaps this is also a coincidence"."I
work at Four Seasons Hotel!".

Meanwhile, the fourth daddy-to-be was becoming very
worried.

worried?".He answered, "...uhmmm.... I'm working at
Seven-Eleven!"

beers took some sandwiches out of their pockets and
started to eat them.
"You can't eat your own sandwiches in here,"

sandwiches.

A Sardar died and went to heaven. When he got to the
pearly gate Saint Peter told him that new rules were
in effect due to the advances in education on earth.
In order to gain admittance a prospective heavenly
soul must answer two questions:
1. Name two days of the week that begin with "T".
2. How many seconds are there in a year?

The Sardar thought for a few minutes and answered...
1. The two days of the week that begin with "T" are
Today and Tomorrow.
2. There are 12 seconds in a year.

Saint Peter said, "OK, I'll buy the Today and
Tomorrow, even though it's not the answer I expected,
so your answer is correct. But how did you get only 12
seconds in a year?"
The Sardar replied, "Well, January 2nd, February 2nd,
March 2nd, etc...."
Saint Peter lets him in without another word
