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 a word out always cut it out.

Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.
To be unkind to anyone. There's no room for that. Not on my watch.
