    For Hitcher

    1) Use commas only when, needed.
    2) Don't use no double negatives.
    3) Prepositions are not to end sentences with.
    4) Keep you're work neat and tidy.
    5) Never abbrev.
    6) Pronouns must agree with its antecedents.
    7) Verbs has to agree with their subjects.
    8) Use commas to separate words in a series parentheticals introductory clauses and the like.
    9) Read over your work to make sure you have not out any words.
    10) While a transcendent vocabulary is laudable, one must nonetheless keep incessant surveillance against such loquacious, effusive, voluble verbosity that the calculated objective of communications becomes ensconced in obscurity.
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!

    13. Don't gratuitously add stuff that is not necessary.

    13. Never use a foreign phrase or expression when there is an acceptable English quid pro quo.

    17. Finish with the ellipsis if you've lost your train of thought...
    18. Break up very long sentences (like this one here) with parentheses [and those bracket thingies] to make it easier for the dullards {those who are slow of wit (or dim of eye)} to follow what you - or someone like you - is talking about. (Or something (or not)).
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    21. Always exaggerate when telling a story.
    e.g. "You forgot to mention that the 2,347,286 bulbs are all peculiar 1.7W ones, so they're essentially unobtainable from anywhere except Honda."
