Out of the blue (aka I feel like chit-chatting):

sunny-raindrop: I admit I don't always like this nickname. I can't even count the times I considered changing it to sunny-side-up, or something. That's so optimistic, and I like to eat it, too. :) I noticed that my nicknames always have "sun" in it, that's important for me. (Sunflower is my favourite, by the way, but it was already used when I registered here; my only nickname without "sun" is Danish and some thought me to be a boy because of it.) So where this one come from? The sun is evident (it's just me), and as I remember I wasn't at my highest spirits when registering. That's why the sentimentality.

Danish: I love, love, love it! I was a bit afraid that I was too enthusiastic and I would get disappointed, but no. :) Its pronunciation is pure hell, though. Really, it is. When I tried to articulate some of its sounds I received funny looks from my roommate and was asked not to practice it late at night 'cuz it's scary. But I don't give up. And the funniest thing: after three days of studying it, I can say "I have hangover." XD (Not that I would need it...)

And the other night when I went home after a party, there were some guys on the street. One of them was just ending a call when I reached them, and heard him say "vi ses" of which I knew by that time that it means "see you". I was tempted to ask if he was Danish (or Swedish? Norvegian?) but there were three of them while I was alone, at 3.30 AM and... right in front of a strip bar, so I thought better of it. (What if they had misinterpreted my harmless interest?!) Anyway, I love it.

Do not put statements in the negative form.
And don't start sentences with a conjunction.
If you reread your work, you will find on rereading that a
great deal of repetition can be avoided by rereading and editing.
Never use a long word when a diminutive one will do.
Unqualified superlatives are the worst of all.
De-accession euphemisms.
If any word is improper at the end of a sentence, a linking verb is.
Avoid trendy locutions that sound flaky.
Last, but not least, avoid cliches like the plague.
