Between you and I, case is important.
Correct spelling is eccentail.
Don't use commas, that aren't necessary.
Don't use no double negatives.
Proofread you writing.
Try not to ever split infinitives.
Use your apostrophe's correctly.
Verbs has to agree with their subjects.
When dangling, watch your pariciples.
Avoid using cliches like the plague.
