11. Who needs rhetorical questions?
12. Use words correctly, irregardless of how others use them.
13. Contractions aren’t helpful and shouldn’t be used.
14. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.

16. If you’ve heard it once, you’ve heard it a thousand times: resist hyperbole; not one writer in a million can use it correctly.
