Only a nerd would find this funny...

William Safire's rules for writing as seen in the New York Times

- Do not put statements in the negative form.
- And don't start sentences with a conjunction.
- If you reread your work, you will find on rereading that a great deal of repetition can be avoided by rereading and editing.
- Never use a long word when a diminutive one will do.
- Unqualified superlatives are the worst of all.
- If any word is improper at the end of a sentence, a linking verb is.
- Avoid trendy locutions that sound flaky.
- Never, ever use repetitive redundancies.
- Also, avoid awkward or affected alliteration.
- Last, but not least, avoid cliches like the plague.
