My several years in the word game have learnt me several rules:

1)  A friend I spoken with recently told me he been forgetting his helper verbs.
2)  A preposition isn't a good thing to end a sentence with.
3)  a sentence should begin with a capital and end with a period
4)  A writer must not shift your point of view.
5)  About repetition, the repetition of a word might be real effective repetition.
6)  About sentence fragments.
7)  Always pick on the correct idiom.
8)  Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake.
9)  And always be sure to finish what you
10)  And don't start a sentence with a conjunction.  (Remember, too, a preposition is a terrible word to end a sentence with.)
11)  As far as incomplete constructions, they are wrong.
12)  Avoid alliteration.  Always.
13)  Avoid clichés like the plague (they're old hat).
14)  Avoid trendy locutions that sound flaky.
15)  Be carefully to use adjectives and adverbs correct.
16)  Be more or less specific.
17)  capitalize every sentence and remember always end it with point
18)  Check to see if you any words out.
19)  Comparisons are as bad as clichés.
20)  Consult the dictionery to avoid mispelings.  Corect speling is esential.
21)  Contractions aren't necessary.
22)  Do not put statements in the negative form.
23)  Do not use hyperbole; not one in a million can do it effectively.
24)  Don't abbrev.
25)  Don't be redundant; don't use more words than necessary; it's highly superfluous.
26)  Don't never use a double negation.
27)  Don't overuse exclamation marks!!!!
28)  Don't repeat yourself, or say again what you have said before.
29)  Don't use commas, that aren't necessary.
30)  Don't use no double negatives.
31)  Don't write a run-on sentence you've got to punctuate it this makes it easier to read.
32)  Each pronoun agrees with their antecedent.
33)  Eliminate quotations.  As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said:  "I hate quotations.  Tell me what you know."
34)  Employ the vernacular.
35)  Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc.
36)  Eschew obfuscation.
37)  Even if a mixed metaphor sings, it should be derailed.
38)  Everyone should be careful to use a singular pronoun with singular nouns in their writing.
39)  Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.
40)  Foreign words and phrases are not apropos.
41)  Go around the barn at high noon to avoid colloquialisms.
42)  Hopefully, you will use words correctly, irregardless of how others use them.
43)  If any word is improper at the end of a sentence, a linking verb is.
44)  If you reread your work, you can find on rereading a great deal of repetition can be avoided by rereading and editing.
45)  In letters compositions reports and things like that we use commas to keep a string of items apart.
46)  In my opinion I think that an author when he is writing shouldn't get into the habit of making use of too many unnecessary words that he does not really need in order to put his message across.
47)  In the case of a report, check to see that jargonwise, it's A-OK.
48)  In writing, few things are, so to speak, more infuriating, than, say, commas, at least when there are too many of them, or when they should be, say, semicolons.
49)  It behooves us all to avoid archaic expressions.
50)  It's better not to unnecessarily split an infinitive.
51)  Join clauses good, like a conjunction should.
52)  Just between you and I, the case of pronouns is important.
53)  Last but not least, avoid cliches like the plague; They're old hat; seek viable alternatives.
54)  Never leave a transitive verb just lay there without an object.
55)  Never use a big word when a diminutive alternative would suffice.
56)  One should never generalize.
57)  One-word sentences?  Eliminate.
58)  Only Proper Nouns should be capitalized.
59)  Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are unnecessary.
60)  Parenthetical words however should be enclosed in commas.
61)  Place pronouns as close as possible, especially in long sentences, as of 10 or more words, to their antecedents.
62)  Placing a comma between subject and predicate, is not correct.
63)  Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
64)  Profanity sucks.
65)  Proofread carefully to see if you words out.
66)  Proofread you writing.
67)  Remember to never split an infinitive.
68)  Take the bull by the hand and avoid mixed metaphors--even if a mixed metaphor sings, it should be derailed.  They are a pain in the neck and ought to be weeded out.
69)  The adverb always follows the verb.
70)  The passive voice is to be avoided.
71)  To have been using excessively complex verb constructions, is to have been bopping the literary baloney.
72)  Understatement is always best.
73)  Use hyphens in compound-words, not just in any two-word phrase.
74)  Use parallel construction not only to be concise but also clarify.
75)  Use the apostrophe in it's proper place and omit it when its not needed.
76)  Verbs has to agree with their subjects.
77)  Watch out for irregular verbs which have crope into our language.
78)  When dangling, don't use participles.
79)  While a transcendent vocabulary is laudable, one must nevertheless keep incessant surveillance against such loquacious, effusive, voluble verbosity that the calculated objective of communication becomes ensconced in obscurity.  In other words, don't indulge in sesquipedalian lexicological constructions.
80)  Who needs rhetorical questions?
