"Don't use commas, which aren't necessary."
LOL, I used to proof read for one of our lawyers. I always told him "Jim, I'll bring my little bag of commas right over." Because he never used any. I once had to practically twist his arm to add parentheses to his parenthetical phrase. I told him I'd seen many fine writers use them often, even in modern magazine articles. That convinced him. He was a good lawyer, but not a very good writer.

"Proofread carefully to see if you any words out."

My sister saw a kid's report card once, and on it was graded on his "Use of Apostraphe's" I'm not kidding...
We used to count the times we saw stupid billboards like "TRUCK'S FOR SELL!" on our car trips through Alabama.
