Fumblerules are humorous rules for writing, collected from teachers of English grammar. In 1979, American author, columnist, journalist, and presidential speechwriter William Safire (1929 - 2009) compiled a list of 'Fumblerules of Grammar' - rules of writing, all of which are humorously self-contradictory.
Here is a list of those 36 fumblerules, along with another 18 that later featured in Safire's book, Fumblerules: A Lighthearted Guide to Grammar and Good Usage.
