Penalty Box

Penalty 1: Excessive Use of the Word "Very"

Warning: Using the word "very" more than three times in a sentence is punishable by a 30-second penalty.

This sentence, for example, is a prime example of the offense: "This cake is very, very, VERY good!"

Penalty 2: Excessive Use of Colloquialisms

Using colloquial expressions, such as "gonna" or "wanna," in writing is a serious offense and will incur a penalty.

This sentence, on the other hand, is a classic example of the offense: "I'm gonna head to the store, and I'm gonna grab a sandwich."

Penalty 3: Excessive Use of Alliteration
