Verbs should agree with their subjects, prepositions should not end sentences, and conjunctions should not start sentences. Sentence fragments, double negatives, one-word sentences, and passive voice should be avoided. Big words should be replaced with simpler alternatives, exclamation points overused, and words used correctly regardless of others' usage.
