Funny Grammar Tips

For a great (& hilarious) shortcut to understanding common grammar errors, check out this list of reminders compiled by some teachers at Harvard University. My personal favorites:

#3: Use the semicolon properly, always where it is appropriate; and never where it is not.
#33: Always be avoided by the passive voice.
#35: Last but not least, avoid cliches like the plague: seek viable alternatives.
