1. Avoid alliteration. Always.
2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
3. Avoid cliches like the plague.
4. Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc.
5. One should never generalize.
6. Comparisons are as bad as cliches.
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?
I hope this helps.
If my grammar bothers you, you should see my table manners.:ohdear:

It's "Just for Fun" ... a joke, not meant to be a serious review of TOTV posting habits.

So, let's get back on topic with more examples...

The Grammar :police: require :) when you are being funny or people might not understand and do this to the computer :Screen_of_Death:

Moderaton, not extremism... :clap2: :024:
