Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Frederick Orton Hamilton, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Nelson (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Some advice from George Orwell

While browsing around, I came across some prose and recognized it as yours:

"However the four-light four-door sports saloon was given a brand new very pretty "razor edge" body which proved to be not unlike the entirely new Roadrider shape introduced within twelve months."

This reminded me of a way to avoid the "not un-" formation:

"One can cure oneself of the not un- formation by memorizing this sentence: A not unblack dog was chasing a not unsmall rabbit across a not ungreen field." - George Orwell

This is from Politics and the English Language, where Orwell says that the practice of speaking and writing in clear, concise English leads to clearer thought and clearer expression.

I advise you to read his essay, as it might improve your writing style. If you do not wish to read the full essay, his list of six writing rules might be of help:

1. Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.
2. Never use a long word where a short one will do.
3. If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.
4. Never use the passive where you can use the active.
5. Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
6. Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.

I hope this will be of help.
