Those old industrial films followed the radio “grammar” rules rigidly.
1. Never end a sentence or phrase with a preposition.
2. Never begin a sentence with if. Reverse the verb.
3. All verbs must be passive.
4. Don’t say I or you. Say one.
5. Every sentence must contain at least one which or whom.
6. Never use one syllable when 5 will do; never use one word when 20 will do.

Correcting a folk song, copying the late great Stan Freberg:
Had one a utensil which is commonly utilized for hammering activities,
Morning is the time period within which hammering would be accomplished by one,
Evening is an additional time period within which hammering would be accomplished by one,
Comprehensively transiting the geographical territory.
Danger is that, out which would be hammered by one;
Additionally, warning is that, out which would be hammered by one,
Among one’s siblings and one’s siblings,
Love is that, out which would be hammered by one,
Comprehensively transiting the geographical territory.
