    11 RULES OF WRITING

    Completely agree with GoBadgers: quite useless for those who didn't learn about participles and clauses back in school! (For the grammar nazis, I find these are neither exhaustive nor particularly relevant ... the suggests are arbitrary at best and biased at worst: for example, certain writers prefer writing in the passive voice. Purpose and style may negate the "rulk" that the active voice be preferred). *ends rant*

    1) Writing has no rules. 2) These are rules for grammar. 3) These are completely random rules for grammar. 4) The wording here is too...bland and textbook-style. If you're going to pump boring rules into someone's mind, make it interesting!
