How To Write Good

*It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.
*Contractions aren't necessary.
*The passive voice is to be avoided.
*Prepositions are not the words to end sentences with.
*Be more or less specific.
*Go around the barn at high noon to avoid colloquialisms.
*One-word sentences? Eliminate.
*Who needs rhetorical questions?
*Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.
