[Each month in 2025, we wander unsupervised down memory lane, repeating the=
Grif Net email/blog posts for an entire week from 25 years ago (February
2000).]
A Dozen Rules for Writers
1. Verbs has to agree with their subjects.
2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
3. And don’t start a sentence with a conjunction.
4. It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.
5. Avoid clich=E9s like the plague, since they’re old hat.
6. Always be more or less specific.
8. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are (usually) unnecessary.
9. Also too, never, ever use repetitive redundancies.
10. No sentence fragments.
11. Don’t use no double negatives.
12. Proofread carefully to see if you any words out. (see rule 7)
