Non-offensive equivalent to KISS "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" is my new favorite, although "Less is more" applies the principle itself |

Non-offensive equivalent to KISS "let's keep it simple" would get the point across without sounding offensive, "keep it simple" is kind of offensive if the other person know about the KISS principle |

Non-offensive equivalent to KISS It sounds good for team work, but how to suggest someone to apply the KISS principle on his own, if that person does know about the KISS principle |

plural of compound nouns More often than not the last world is mean to be an adjective, in wich case wouldn't it be correct to make the plural with the word that specifies the object rather than its feature. |

How many adjectives can be chained without sounding weird? @FumbleFingers I've got a pseudo rule, this page says "There’s no limit to the number of adjectives", but suggests that we would need to place commas in between, also the answer by jlovegren may suggests that sorting the modifiers in a correct way could help chain more adjectives without sounding awkward. |

How many adjectives can be chained without sounding weird? Also in the same paragraph "…adjectives that denote objective, absolute, inherent properties of entities, like color, tend to occur closer to the modified noun than adjectives that denote subjective, relativistic, context-sensitive properties, like value". Interesting |

Pronoun “you” can be omitted as subject in imperative form, what other pronouns can be omitted, when and why? "Got something to say?" is referring to whom? |

Pronoun “you” can be omitted as subject in imperative form, what other pronouns can be omitted, when and why? @PeterShor For instance "go home" vs "I go gome", the first sentence refers to YOU |
