Avoid using "not" contractions: can't, won't, didn't, shouldn't, etc. 
Use the complete words: cannot, will not, did not, should not, etc.
"I cannot abide this abuse of language!"

Shakespearian Word/Phrase of the Day:
Marry - a mild oath (by the Virgin Mary!), similar to "indeed"
"Marry, I shall go forth straightaway!"
