The Sentence Amusement Park

A fantastic article I discovered recently that eloquently sums up some of the more common errors we might make with our sentences.

I used to have a lot of fun on the Twister apparently Wink

...What ride do you favour?

A very interesting piece.

I disagree with the Tunnel of Love to some extent though. The article he chose doesn't need those ands and buts. They don't add anything* to the prose.

Look at me dissing D.H. Lawrence. Shocked

Still, I do think that in creative writing this rule can be regarded as flexible. Just be careful when using.

*In my opinion.
