PART 1 - WRITING RULES Part 1 Writing Rules "If you simplify your English, you are freed from the worst follies of orthodoxy. ....And when you make a stupid remark, its stupidity will be obvious, even to yourself." - George Orwell (1946) - Politics and the English Language. Introduction Summaries of the Writing Rules The rules that are discussed in each section of these writing rules are summarized at the beginning of that section. All the rules are also collected in a quick-reference list that is part of this introduction. Examples in the Text Most of the examples in the text are from existing technical manuals. For this reason, the "NOT" examples are not written in Simplified English.
