[pct-l] grammar



People who post to lists such as this can increase the likelihood that their
posts will be  enjoyed and interpreted correctly if a few grammatical rules are
followed.  Therefore, I present the following guidelines:

 -----------------
 1. Verbs HAS to agree with their subjects.
 2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences
    with.
 3. And don't start a sentence with a conjunction.
 4. It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.
 5. Avoid cliches like the plague. (They're old
    hat.)
 6. Be more or less specific.
 8. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant)
    are (usually) unnecessary.
 9. Also too, never, ever use repetitive
    redundancies.
 10. No sentence fragments.
 11. Don't use no double negatives.
 12. Proofread carefully to see if you any
     words out.
