I recall reading a host of those. If I'm not mistaken, they were attributed
to William Saffire.

1. Remember to never split an infinitive.

2. If any word is wrong at the end of a sentence, a linking verb is.

3. Avoid cliches like the plague.

4. Proofroad!

5. Always proofread to see if you any words out.

Any more to this list?
