George Orwell “Politics and the English Language,”

>1) Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.

>2) Never use a long word where a short one will do.

>3) If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.

>4) Never use the passive where you can use the active.

>5) Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.

>6) Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.
