o  always capitalize first letter of your sentence.
o  don't end a sentence with a comma,
o  but, don't begin sentence with 'but'.
o  and, don't begin sentence with 'and', neither.
o  run yore tetx thru a speling chekcer.
o  be concise, except when you are in a hurry, or need to go to the
   w.c., or are simply tired, in which case (or cases, i'm not sure, but
   you know what i mean), be more conciser.
o  again, avoid redundancy.  do not repeat thyself over and over and
   over.  in other words, be short, brief, and to the point.
o  like, when writing technical stuff, don't use slang, you know.
o  remember not to needlessly split an infinitive.
o  with a preposition don't begin a sentence.
o  simply stated, avoid adverbial clauses.
o  avoid santa clauses.
