One should never generalize.
- Don't be redundant; don't use more words than necessary. It's highly
superfluous. - Understatement is always the best.
- Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.
- One-word sentences? Eliminate.
- Who needs rhetorical questions?
- Comparisons are as bad as clichés.
- Even if a mixed metaphor sings, it should be derailed.
- Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake.
- Go around the barn at high noon to avoid colloquialisms.
