Grammar and Mechanics A Pocket Style Manual by Diana Hacker
Teacher Kate’s P’s and Q’s for written work:1. Contractions and abbreviations should not be used in
formal writing: isn’t, wouldn’t, can’t, it’s, etc.2. Use of the 2nd person (you, your, etc.) is seldom justified.3. Titles should be underlined or italicized (I prefer italics).4. Do not split infinitives: to not depend should be not to
depend5. Avoid ending sentences or clauses with a preposition: The
person he gave it to should be the person to whom he gave it.
6. Avoid beginning sentences with an indefinite pronoun: it or this.
