Tip for reducing Sue-ishness: AVOID USING SUPERLATIVES.

Superlatives are the most extreme form of an adjective, used to denote the "-est of the -est". Examples: the KZT Triple X is the bigg est Deletion Missile in existence. The USA is the rich est country in Antarctica.

Using superlatives in articles, however, basically states this: "This article's subject is the best in its field. It is rivaled by none and is much more awesome than anything else."

In essence, using a superlative to describe your article's subject is making it Sue-ish. Don't say "Phil is the best diplomat in Antarctica." Say "Phil is an excellent diplomat."
