  13. #writingtips Adjectives and adverbs *definitely* do not make your *clever* writing any more readable. Ration yourself.
  14. #writingtips Simplify. Which do you prefer, "It would appear that" or "apparently"? "Inter-spacial connection device" or "door"?
  15. #writingtips Writing “12 10-year-olds” is confusing. Mix numbers and numerals. “Twelve 10-year-olds” is clearer. #FromTheSlushpile
