Justin is not lying- the creepy sub is creepily creeping on your belongings. Then he walks to a random point in the room and stares. Like an undertaker.
Anyway, lets ignore that creepy guy and get to the good stuff.
I agree with his argument. As a trekkie, I also appreciate the Star Trek shou out: "to boldly go where no man has gone before." I think that splitting an infinitive makes the sentence more descriptive and exciting.
2. Don't end a sentence with a preposition
I hate it when I notice sentences ending with a preposition- but just because I have grown up hearing ths rule. I've never thought too much about this but I don't think it's a big deal unless you use it too frequently.
3. Which vs That - again, I don't think it's a big deal either. It's a choice of style.
4. Starting a sentence with a conjunction
Until very recently, due to this class, I never started a sentence with And. It just SCREAMS wrong to me. And I probably won't be using it much. (see what I did there?)
5. Don't use the passive voice
Just don't. Unless you're being intentionally vague.
6. Singular verb things
Yeah. Do that.
7.Word choice
"What are you reading?"
"Words, words, words."
Use the right one.
Cheers,
Michelle
