The 19 Rule’s For Writing Good

Brian McKay — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 01:08:54 +0000

Each pronoun agrees with their antecedent.
Just between you and I, case is important.
Verb’s has to agree with their subject.
Watch out for irregular verbs which has cropped up into our language.
Don’t use no double negative’s.
A writer mustn’t shift your point of view.
When dangling, don’t use participle’s.
Join clauses good like a conjunction should.
And don’t use conjunctions to start sentences.
Don’t use a run-on sentence you got to punctuate it.
About sentence fragments.
In letter’s theme’s report’s article’s and stuff like that we use commas to keep strings apart.
Don’t use commas, which aren’t necessary.
Its important to use apostrophe’s right.
Don’t abbrev.
Check to see if you any words out.
In my opinion I think that the author when he is writing should not get into the habit of making use of too many unnecessary words which he does not really need.
Then, of course, there’s that old one: Never use a preposition to end a sentence with.
Last but not least, avoid cliche’s like the plague.

what a scam

I don’t encourage anyone who desires to receive a parcel in two days to pay for “UPS 2nd Day Air” delivery service.

Budget five days. That’s correct: five days. At least three “business days.” I had an online chat with a UPS employee who told me that “UPS 2nd Day Air” requires three days because the first day that UPS possesses a parcel is not a “transit day.” I wish that I had copied the text from our chat to show here.

UPS 2-day air delivery commitment is “delivery by the end of the second business day.”

UPS took possession of my parcel on Friday. Monday is the second business day.

I ordered merchandise from B&H Photo in New York City on Thursday night. By 2:02 p.m. it was ready for UPS pickup. Somehow UPS didn’t receive it until 11:04 p.m.

UPS drove it to Secaucus, N.J. within an hour. Six hours later, Saturday morning, it was scanned departure (from Secaucus). Newark airport is 10 miles away.

The “arrival scan” shows that the parcel arrived in Jacksonville 50 hours later, as if it had been trucked rather than flown.

I am not a megamillion-dollar parcel delivery service, but I could take a parcel from New York City to an airport, fly to Bay County, Florida, then drive to my home in one day.

UPS needs five days for a guaranteed two-day delivery.

Why does the tracking website (screen grab above) read, “Shipped … Shipment progress … Shipping Information, and Shipped By?”

No ships should be involved in “UPS 2nd Day Air” service!

A truck can take a parcel from B&H Photo to Secaucus airport where UPS sorts parcels then flies to Florida. A truck can take parcels from Jacksonville to Panama City. A delivery van can come from the Panama City depot to my home.

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are enough time for that.

Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday are enough time to fly from New Jersey to Florida then drive a van to my home.
