George Orwell on writing: Those six little rules
- autopov 11y agoWhile "The Economist" squabble over these pedantic style rules, a modest survey of various social media utterances proves a number of native English speakers can't figure out simple grammar: It's/its; there/they're/their; then/than; etc. Those six—now seven updated—rules are on a higher intellectual plane than that of the average netizen. I'd use a metaphor to summarize my observation, but I don't want to break the rules.
