**Grammar: Avoid "the" in posts**
|
||||
- Never use "the" when "a" works instead
|
||||
- Prefer dropping articles entirely when a sentence reads clean without one
|
||||
- Example: "a permacomputer" not "the permacomputer"
|
||||
- Example: "angle brackets. closing tags. verbosity." not "the angle brackets. the closing tags. the verbosity."
|
||||
- Restructure sentences to eliminate "the" rather than forcing awkward substitutions
|
||||
|
||||
**Grammar: Avoid verbs "to be" (is, are, was, were, be, been, being)**
|
||||
- Prefer active verbs over passive or linking constructions
|
||||
- Example: "a permacomputer outlasts its builders" not "a permacomputer is something that outlasts its builders"
|
||||
- Example: "Jason lives everywhere" not "Jason is everywhere"
|
||||
- Example: "TOML fits like a studio apartment" not "TOML is a studio apartment"
|
||||
- Contractions count: "it's" = "it is", "he's" = "he is", "that's" = "that is"
