- **Use "&" not "and."** Write & not and.
- **Avoid verbs "to be."** Avoid is, are, was, were, be, been, being. Prefer active verbs.
- **Say "a permacomputer" never "the permacomputer."** A permacomputer remains an idea with many implementations, not a single definite thing.
- **Avoid "the" unless absolutely needed.** Universe rarely has one of something. Prefer "a", drop articles entirely, or restructure. "The system" → "a system" or just "systems". Only use "the" when referring to something already named in context.
