Pink's tongue-in-cheek guide for writists...

We get plenty irony and plenty ornery, too. So watch it, pardner.

Two observations on Pink's original:

PM Winston Churchill once sent a civil service memo: "Someone has been amending my speeches, rewording to ensure that my sentences do not end with a preposition. This is an intolerable impertinence, up with which I will not put."

Your cod-Latin quote in full:

Civile si ergo
Fortibus es in ero
Gnoses mare Thebe trux
Vatis in in em causan dux

To be read aloud until it sinks in.

Ha, like that!

Blimp stop picking on poor Rick... that's my job

I am still waiting for someone to submit a story with all of those points in it... who is first

Sounds like a 2011 Writists Challenge in the making

Well if its your job get on with it then instead of lazing about the library eating crisps and neglecting your duties!!

#19 sounds like a majestic Aztec deity.

Now what was I about to say? Oh, yes! Concentrate!

Write grammatical English all in the time!

Always check carefully four typoes!

Pink I would submit your request story with all those wonderful errors if I even came close to understanding all those big words you use. I have not seen so many big words in on little entry in a long time, how much time did you spend looking up how to spell them all?
