FakeAPStylebook on Twitter hands us words to write by:
- Typographers will tell you to eliminate widows and orphans. Typographers are MONSTERS.
- “Kill your darlings” refers to editing overwrought copy. Our apologies to the surviving family of Gotham City’s Printon “Scoop” Presser.
- To avoid being sued for copyright infringement, alter one letter in each word of quotes from literary works: “Carl mi Ishmail.”
- Misplaced modifiers are always in the last place you look.
Priceless and free. This comes from the brilliant minds behind Write More Good.
I love these.
