About time

[ritaxis]

Finally, a prominent linguist is taking the offensive against the odious Strunk and White. I've hated this stupid writing guide forever and forever, and for most of that time I felt alone, even heretical.

I am so looking forward to a better approach to teaching writing.

The things I find Strunk and White good for is possessives (specifically, I agree with them that the possessive of Charles is Charles's and the possessive of Jones is Jones's), and the advice that when in doubt, recast the sentence.
