In practice. The usual suspects, and some unusual principles : elegant variation? ; Tiny acts of elegance : editing like a ninja ; My lovehate with Strunkwhite : elements of discontent ; When jargon gets jargony : we hate parrots! ; You've been punc'd : the stupidcomma and other things that make you look dumb ; A hyphen manifesto : the turn signal of prose ; The trademark manifesto : a registered grievance
