RULES FOR ENGLISH USAGE

 

English is a complex language with so many nuances that the rules of usage are forgotten in education systems. Is that because the teachers are not competent in the usage of the language they are teaching?

Also too, never, ever use repetitive redundancies.
No sentence fragments.
Contractions aren't necessary and shouldn't be used.
Foreign words and phrases are not apropos.
Do not be redundant; do not use more words than necessary; it's highly superfluous.
One should NEVER generalize.
Comparisons are as bad as clichés.
