1.   To join two independent clauses, use a comma followed by a
     conjunction, a semicolon alone, or a semicolon followed by a
     sentence modifier.

2. Use commas to bracket nonrestrictive phrases, which are not
essential to the sentence's meaning.

3. Do not use commas to bracket phrases that are essential to a
sentence's meaning.
4. When beginning a sentence with an introductory phrase or
an introductory (dependent) clause, include a comma.

5. To indicate possession, end a singular noun with an
apostrophe followed by an "s". Otherwise, the noun's form
seems plural.

6. Make the subject and verb agree with each other, not with a
word that comes between them.
7. Use proper punctuation to integrate a quotation into a
sentence. If the introductory material is an independent
clause, add the quotation after a colon. If the introductory
material ends in "thinks," "saying," or some other verb
indicating expression, use a comma.

8. Be sure that a pronoun, a participial phrase, or an appositive
refers clearly to the proper subject.
9. Use parallel construction to make a strong point and create a
smooth flow.

10. Use the active voice unless you specifically need to use the
passive.

11. Omit unnecessary words.
