Just Say No With Copyblogger
CopyBlogger has a great post today called: Just Say No to These Three Enemies of Clear and Direct Writing. Although I find the title a bit unwieldy, perhaps violating his rules against both something called metadiscourse and pretentiousness, the points are well taken.
Another way to sum it up might be: Keep it simple! It’s amazing how often simple writing works well.
What’s your favorite writing rule?

My favorite writing rule is “Don’t use the word monetize, except when you’re trying to monetize your search engine results.”
