English Tip of the Week
Become a Better Writer Instantly
 When you drive your car, there are laws you must follow. Well, there are also “laws” or criteria for writing effectively. Enhance your credibility and professional image instantly by paying attention to these criteria:
- State the main point clearly, right at the beginning
- Organize information logically
- Leave out unnecessary information
- Use short sentences and paragraphs
- Eliminate unnecessary words
- Include all necessary information
- Use active, precise language and plain English
- Use correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling
Data shows that people won’t read your document if it’s not presented clearly and that you have only about fifteen seconds to get someone’s attention.

Thanks to Aileen Z. for sharing this story in response to our recent Problems with Prepositions E-newsletter.
Your article on prepositions reminded me of one of my favorite stories about
prepositions:
A little boy was going to bed for the night. His mother was
looking for a book to read him a bedtime story.
"Don't bring that book about
cats," he called down to his mother.
As luck would have it, that's the book
she took upstairs.
The little boy took one look at the book and said, (Are you ready for this?)
"What did you bring that book I didn't want to be read TO OUT OF UP FOR?"
This is the only sentence I ever heard that ended with FIVE prepositions!
Learn all about who and whom, affect and effect, subjects and verbs, adjectives and adverbs, commas, semicolons, quotation marks, and much more by just sitting back and enjoying these easy-to-follow lessons. Tell your colleagues (and boss), children, teachers, and friends. Click here to watch.
