I've noticed a lot of complaints of other people's posts on this forum and thought that a little comic relief on the issue would be appropriate.
Behold! There are rules, I'm sure you all would agree.

1.) Each pronoun agrees with their antecedent.

2.) Just between you and i, Case is important.

3.) Verbs has to agree with their subjects.

4.) Watch out for irregular verbs which has crops into our language.

5.) Don't use no double negatives, never.

6.) A writer mustn't shift your point of view.

7.) When dangling, don't use participles.

8.) Join clauses good, like a conjunction should.

9.) Don't write a run-on sentance you got to punctuate it.

10.) About sentance fragments.

11.) In letters themes reports articles and stuff like that we use commas to keep a string of items apart.

12.) In, fact, never, use, commas, which, by, the, way, aren't, necessary.

13.) Its important to use apostrophie's right.

14.) Do not abbrev.

15.) Check to see if you any words or leters out.

16.) In my opinion I think that an author when he is writing shouldn't get into the habit of making use of too many unnecessary words that he does not really need in order to put his message across.

17.) In the case of a business letter, check it in the terms of jargonation which indubitably will amplificate the reader's comprehensability.

18.) About repitition, the repetition of a word might be real effective repitition, especially if the repitition repeats the repetitive word repetitively.

19.) As far as incomplete construction, they are wrong.

20.) Last but not least, keep your act clean. Lay off the cliches.

No, it's because number 20 is completely cliche.

"Last but not least" is a cliche. "Keep your act clean" is a cliche". And "Lay off the ..." is another one.
