Welcome to TwistedWit.com

Hello! Allow me to share some wordplay and non-lateral thinking (nod to Edward de Bono). I update this site as the muses demand.

Special thanks to Janet Granito and Adam Dorsay for nurturing my inner punster, thus inspiring TwistedWit's creation.

Thanks also to other witty contributors of content, some of whom are: Zach Hanson, Beatrice Beaubien, and Lance Frey.

Note that I have strictly followed copywriting rules as collected by William Safir, in Great Rules for Writing. These rules are:

• Do not put statements in the negative form.
• And don't start sentences with a conjunction.
• If any word is improper at the end of a sentence, a linking verb is.
• Remember, too, a preposition is a terrible word to end a sentence with.
• Use the semicolon properly, always use it where it is appropriate; and never where it isn't.
• If you reread your work, you will find on rereading that much repetition can be avoided by rereading and editing.
• Place pronouns as close as possible, especially in long sentences of 10 or more words, to their antecedents.
• Never use a long word when a diminutive one will do.
• Proofread carefully to see if you words out.
• Unqualified superlatives are the worst of all.
• Remember to never split an infinitive.
• A writer must not shift your point of view.
• Writing carefully, dangling participles must be avoided.
• Always pick on the correct idiom.
• Avoid trendy locutions that sound flaky.
• Last, but not least, avoid clichés like the plague.

Enjoy,

Lee Lukehart

p.s. Please send me your faves and I'll shamelessly steal and edit your material (and will list you as a contributor unless you request otherwise).
