Forgive me if it's old.

Seeing it for the first time. Clever. I read the whole thing so I think I done real good and now I am ready to write real good too.

Thanks for the link.

Mandy-Jane · May 3, 2011

I love that! Very clever and funny!

Isabelle · May 3, 2011

Isn't grammar pretty important when learning how to write well?

Alessandra Kelley · May 4, 2011

Dude, it's a joke.

To be precise, it's a link to a list of writing "rules", variations of which have been floating around for at least 50 years.

Great, now everyone knows all my secrets.

I can't read it at work (it's blocked), but I'm relieved to know that the title wasn't serious! I was getting ready to jump on here and say, "Ummm...it's how to write well, and perhaps you should start with your grammar skills!" lol

Nick Blaze · May 4, 2011

I figured keeping the title as it is would be a better way to draw in readers with the "WTF DAT'S RONG GRAMER" instinct.

Good one, Nick. Alessandra's correct. I saw some of these in high school (more than fifty years ago). Of course you should keep the original title. I wonder what part of "gag" in the URL is so hard to understand?

Comparisons are as bad as cliches.

They're all clever, but that one's my favorite.

It's weird that it's blocked from so many places. There's nothing remotely objectionable on the list.

Sirion · May 5, 2011

I imagine that if one were to follow all of these rules all of the time, their writing would be quite bland.

Meh.
