As for the others, suggestion two has irritated me for some time: most writing ought to be active, but the passive voice exists for a reason: there are many situations–as when one wants to keep the subject ambiguous; emphasize the recipient of the action; or sustain a subject that sometimes performs, sometimes receives, various actions among rhetorically parallel structures–in which the passive voice can be favorable. Its overuse and misuse are the problems.

As for turning off the grammar checker, I agree that Microsoft Word’s constant reminders that I’ve done something wrong when I haven’t are vexatious, but you’ve gone to the other extreme. There’s a better way to punctuate than to use a series of sentence fragments; I think the dash would work nicely, or even the ellipsis.

I agree to an extent with suggestion five, but, again, it’s not a peremptory rule; sometimes, a long sentence is a good thing. Just as a fragment can “give rhythm. And pace,” a long sentence that flows well not only emulates speech in some cases; it is also rhetorically pleasing, and incredibly useful for building good climactic structure and organizing a closely-related idea. Again, this is not something of which the language ought to be expurgated; magniloquence and long sentences are like fats, oils, and sweets: we ought to use them sparingly, but enjoyment of life demands that we indulge on occasion. Suggestion six seems to aver this.

And a quick note to address number seven: a one-sentence paragraph, in keeping with the trend of these suggestions, is really only acceptable in an e-mail or informal piece of writing. You’re ignoring tone entirely! You’re wiping out the richness of the language!

All in all, I admire your attempt, but I hope that you and everyone reading this realize that your suggestions are not absolute rules; they are full of provisions, and ought to be broken liberally whenever good writing demands it.
