9. Punctuation and Speeling? Was that first “sentence” a joke? Hilarious!

#8, I believe, could be more appropriately rendered as “Vary sentence length”. Too many short sentences make for choppy-sounding writing, whereas longer sentences contribute to a meandering flow. Sentence length can also be used for “atmosphere”. Reading your writing out loud will demonstrate this concept, and will also show where the writing doesn’t flow, or if it chops too quickly, or becomes too long and difficult to complete in a single moderated breath.

“Take this sentences”? Oops! Even those who write about writing are not immune to errors.

Both examples in number six display the same punctuation error. There should be a semicolon before the word “however.” What you’ve provided is an example of another punctuation sin: the comma splice. Those were the bane of my twelfth-grade English teacher’s existence. I can see her point.
