Hi A/all,

Several famous people have done this under various titles--

the idea is to write a sentence that breaks the writing advice you're explaining.

For example, a few of my favorites:

-A preposition is not a good thing to end a sentence with.
-Take the bull by the hand and don't mix metaphors.
-Don't verb nouns.

What are yours, borrowed or original?

And don’t forget it’s also wrong to start a sentence with a conjunctive. Thats all I can think of.



CalliopePurple -> RE: Writing Twisters (12/29/2006 1:16:17 PM)

Avoid cliches like the plague.
Don't use no double negatives.

A preposition is a bad thing to end a sentence with.

When beginning a sentence with a dependent clause, or with introductory phrases, modifiers, qualifiers, disclaimers, or another other such information, whether the purpose is to set the stage or to clarify intent, even if such material is essential to a proper reading of the message, and regardless of subjective feelings of the relative importance of these often helpful indicators of intent, be sure to ensure clarity by getting to the main point of the sentence quickly.

Don't fucking curse!

Always avoid alliteration.

Oh alright. How about:

This sentence is equivalent to the Gödel number of the formula gotten by arithmoquining the formula with the Gödel number equivalent to this sentence.

Always proof read your writing, to make sure you have not anything out.
