0. George Orwell

For people who have been living under a rock

Orwell was the writer behind 1984, Animal Farm, and Homage to Catalonia.

He was once reported to MI5 for dressing "in a bohemian fashion".

And he was once given a gun by Hemingway.

Long story.
1. Avoid Cliché

"Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print."

Clichés are lazy and annoying, which can throw off your reader.

Avoid them like the plague.

(See? Annoying.)
2. Simplify words

"Never use a long word where a short one will do."

Small, not diminutive
So, not accordingly
Reward, not incentivise
