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.

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 require when you are being funny or people might not understand and do this to the computer

Moderaton, not extremism...
