The more fastidious amongst you may like these writing tips I give to my students (adapted form an original artickle in the Observer):

When writing there are many important rules to remember. Below are just a few of the them:

· Prepositions are not words to end a sentence with.

· Verbs has to agree with their subjects.

· And do not start a sentence with a conjunction.

· Avoid clichés like the plague.

· Also, always avoid annoying alliteration.

· Be more or less specific.

· Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are (usually) unnecessary.

· No sentence fragments.

· Contractions aren’t necessary and shouldn’t be used.

· One should never generalise.

· Do not use no double negatives.

· Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc.

· Eliminate commas, that are, not necessary.

· Never use big words when a diminutive one would suffice.

· Kill all exclamation marks!!!

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

· Use the apostrophe in it’s proper place and omit it when its not needed.

· Puns are for children, not groan readers.

· Proof read carefully to see if you any words out.

Glad this stuff is appreciated somewhere - my students usually just look at me with complete incomprehension.

That's sad. I guess your educational system isn't any better than ours.

I was going to print it off and give it to my students as a hand out.
But with words like, RULES, VERBS, NEVER, and PROOF, i thought better of it.
