How to write a good thesis
Avoid alliteration. Always.
Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
Avoid cliches like the plague. (They're old hat.)
Employ the vernacular.
Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc.
Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are unnecessary.
It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.
Contractions aren't necessary. Foreign words and phrases are not apropos. One should never generalize.Eliminate quotations. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said: "I hate quotations. Tell me what you know." Comparisons are as bad as cliches. Proofread your work, so you don't leave some out or forget to finish. Run-on sentences are really bad because the reader saturates and what you really should be doing is using commas and semicolons and even periods to break the sentence up into more digestible chunks.To have been using excessively complex verb constructions, is to have been bopping the literary baloney.

I used to love Eurovision for its camp kitchness and dear old Terry who is hilarious, but I haven't watched it properly for eons.
My favourite UK entry aside from the legends that are bucksfizz, is Gina G. She was robbed that year.
I met Irish eurovetran Jonny Logan once in a nightclub in Dublin. He was a t**s-pot
The undergrad semester and teaching for the year is coming to an end - last year my uni turned into a bit of a ghost town -esp August when tumble weed blew across the campus and the rest of the academic community apart from me and a few other sad indviduals vanished
Obviously H is getting wed but what are people planning for their summer? Is anyone taking any major time off, or going anywhere exciting?
