The moment I read the headline, the first words to come to my mind were - "How to Grow a Language" by Guy Steele. Hadn’t the author heard that?

Then, when I read the piece, most were already known to me.

One should watch the marvelous guide by Patrick Henty Winston- "How to Speak".

He also has a book called- "Make it Clear". I highly recommend this.

By all means check out Winston, he's the master. Yes, you can find most of my rules elsewhere. But people don't know them. My student didn't. And my guess he picked up his bad habits listening to bad talks by clueless people. So these principles bear repeating.

Hear hear! I came to mention "How to Speak" (https://youtu.be/Unzc731iCUY) but it makes even more sense to amplify you thoughts.
