Writing carefully, dangling participles must be avoided.

Numbers 1-9 should be written out, ten and above can be written numerically.

When writing a list of items articles objects lists or entities you should use commas to separate them.

Your supposed to use "you're" when your talking about what your doing, and "your" when your writing you're sentences about what somebody else owns. Like this:

"You're food looks good, but your a jerk."

(God, I hate the Internet sometimes , and that was painful to write.)

Two that aren't original with me:

This sentence no verb.

Eschew obfuscation.

As a kid, I was taught in the playground:

"I ain't supposed to say ain't cause ain't ain't in the dictionary."

(At least it was not then.)

More or less, don't use qualifiers that are rather vague or somewhat nebulous.

Relatively, correlatively and interjectively speaking adjectives should be used to the absolutely, positively and minimally amount possible.

Only proper Nouns and the first word in a sentence should be Capitalised.
