TUMBLR
Reblogging myself because 20x200 has ridiculously affordable art by artists other than me, too: I particularly dig Kate Bingaman-Burt, Mike Monteiro, Jason Polan, and Chad Hagen. Live with art, it’s good for you!
You’re welcome! It’s kind of crazy how little I’ve seen about it online. Everybody go get it. One of our best cartoonists.
We All Need Words point out that we hear “That’s not what I was taught at school” are words we hear a lot. They post five unrules:
5. Write short or ‘fragmented’ sentences.
4. Split infinitives.
3. Use contractions (eg that’s instead of that is).
2. Don’t sign off letters with ‘Yours Sincerely if you know the person you’re writing to or ‘Yours Faithfully’ if you don’t.
1. And you can start a sentence with ‘and’ or ‘but’.And a bonus rule from Kurt Vonnegut:
Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you’ve been to college.Ignore Microsoft Word’s green squiggly line. Dare I say, ignore Word altogether. There. Just in time for school.
Know the rules, then break them.
(I’m still intrigued by the idea of numbering e-mails…)
