Ce court essai énumère des règles de grammaire, de syntaxe et de style. Comme il est écrit en langue anglaise, on pourra faire l'impasse sur la syntaxe. Mais certaines méritent tout de même de s'y attarder :
- Make the paragraph unit of composition: one paragraph to each topic
- As a rule, begin each paragraph with a topic sentence; end it conformity with the beginning
- Use the active voice
- Put statements in positive form
- Omit needless words
- Avoid a succession of loose sentences (those consisting of two co-ordinate clauses, the second introduced by a conjunction or relative)
- Keep related words together
- In summaries, keep to one tense
- Place the emphatic words of a sentence at the end
