self-brainwashing

Extricating certain words, thoughts, beliefs, and expectations from one's brain and replacing them with other words, thoughts, beliefs, and/or expectations by writing them, reading them, recording them, playing them back, thinking about them and practicing them.
Reading numerous self-help books I realized that my beliefs and expectations were injected into me in various ways by different people since I was a child. Gradually, I realized that I could replace the negative words, thoughts, beliefs, and expectations with correct and better ones. I call that process self-brainwashing.

fellatio-prevented pregnancy

A possible pregnancy which a teenaged girl prevented by performing fellatio on the male who—if she did not sweet talk him into ejeculating in her mouth— would have ejeculated in her vagina.
The City Council approved the fellatio-prevented pregnancy method by signing a bill which directs the city's public high schools to give teenage girls mouth-on lessons on how to perform fellatio on mannequins appears to have persuaded sufficient teenage girls to sweet talk their boyfriend into ejaculating in their mouth instead of their vagina, because in the last 6-months the number of unwanted teenage pregnancies and also of abortions has sharply declined.

Prominent Punctuation

Prominent punctuation enlarges periods and commas by drawing a circle around each period, and by drawing a large upward pointing arrow head above each comma. The periods with a circle around them, and the commas with the upward pointing arrow heads above them are standard text editing symbols which can also be used when writing to boost certainty and write better.
Working as a Writing Tutor at Borough of Manhattan Community College in 2014, when proofreading, C.M. Fabara started drawing a circle around each period, and an upward- pointing arrow head above each comma for students to more easily see where they were located in the text. Then, to help him see where a text's periods and commas were on a paper when writing a first draft or subsequent version of a paper, he started adding a cicle to all the periods and an upward-pointing arrow head to all the commas in a paper. Four-years later he named his technique "prominent punctuation" and submitted it to UrbanDictionary.com for their approval.

easyfication

Though almost everyone mistakenly believes that learning to write is as difficult as learning to play a musical instrument, inspired by Frederick Taylor's Scientific Management principles, Richard Casey and Charles Cox began its easyfication in a social media group and where volunteers teach students the "one best way" to learn to give a writing a title, write an introductory clause, add a comma, add a semicolon, and perform the other 555 writing techniques he has systematized.
