# General Information

This chapter gives a series of disconnected pieces of advice. Translators should not try to smooth the transitions between these pieces of advice. The advice does not apply in every situation, so they should be seen as "good ideas". The ULB sets poetry in this chapter farther to the right than the rest of the text to show that it is poetry.
