It's a fumblerule too:

The above Wiki Wrote:
- "Never use no double negatives."
- "Eschew obfuscation."
- "Prepositions are not words to end a sentence with."
- "Avoid clichés like the plague."
- "The passive voice should never be employed."
- "You should not use a big word when a diminutive one would suffice."
- "It is bad to carelessly split infinitives."
- "No sentence fragments."
- "Parentheses are (almost always) unnecessary."
- "English is the crème de la crème of all languages."
Fumblerules are hilarious.
Self-referential humor is just the best. Especially with the edition of it being used in an ironic way to demonstrate something, like with these fumble rules.
It's just the fucking best. The cat's pajamas. The bee's knees. The dog's bollocks. The mutt's nuts. The fertile turtles.
