grammarlyblog: Keep it simple! Use George Orwell’s six elementary rules (“Politics and the English Language”, 1946): Never use a metaphor, simile or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print. Never use a long word where a short one will do. If it is possible to cut out a word, always cut it out. Never use the passive where you can use the active. Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent. Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.  (Image: Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson) Man, I know a few hockey bloggers who could benefit from following these rules.
