-It is very tempting to bang out a lot of text and hit save.  I know because I've done it.  I still do sometimes.

-The trick for stylish articles is to read it out and only stop for breath a Full Stop.
-Most of us find that we run out of breath on our "better attempts".  I sometimes find that when I come back to a passage I have trouble understanding what I wrote.  Sometimes just a few minutes after I wrote it.
-The trick is to try not to use this fellow: the comma <span style="font-size:400%">''','''</span>
-This forces you to write short sentences.  This makes easier reading.  It makes simpler writing.  It makes your page snappy and contempory.  It's good.  Really.
-As a "rule of thumb" you can often use Full Stop in most place you would use a comma.
-With a little practice, you should be able to breathe most times you read back your own work to yourself.
-You can also help yourself out with The Law of Brackets.  With TLoB anything in brackets can be left out without hurting the meaning.  So leave it out and make a sentence of it in a moment.  Some stuff with commas can go in brackets... so out it goes.  Give it it's own sentence.
-It's as easy as breathing.
-Honest.
-Last, but not least, : learn to love your enter button.  (by the way this bracketed bit and the bit in commas in the sentence before could go without harm.)
-Your enter button is your best friend (along with the full stop).
-In many people's writting a simple script to make the commas Full Stops and the original Full Stops new lines would make the writting simpler to read.
-Now I'm not saying let's all be English Teachers but we should at least show the world that [[Neopet]] owners are a right impressive bunch.
