It was funny, so I won't thumb it down. However, it's important to remember that people don't, won't and never will -take that- talk formerly. So contractions- use away. And fragments can be used for emphasis and effect. Some rules are meant to be broken.

Funny, though I didn't read it all. However, many of these 'rules' are quickly becoming archaic

Yes, several of these are plain wrong, and there are no hard and fast rules in writing, but that's not why I'm thumbing this down. I think people are missing the point. As I see it, this piece is meant to be humorous through self-references, not informative. Some of these are rules are completely absurd (...unfortunately, a lot of said rules are also regularly taught in schools), but picking those rules and making a self-referential statement out of them brings out that absurdity as well. Thumbs down because it's old and the additional rules (relative to the version I'm used to) aren't as amusing and make it less funny overall.

Many of these are just wrong. Creative way to present them though. Oh crap a preposition!
