      Oh, well, I certainly agree with Pullum and you that some of the Elements are wrong if we take them to be "rules" or even as descriptions of what works best. It seems strange to call E.B. White a "bumbler" though. As, you know, the genesis of THE ELEMENTS OF STYLE is a White memoir of Strunk in The New Yorker (which I don't recall ha […]

      A main, if not the main, point he makes -- about something that had been bothering/puzzling me since I got my first and only and currently in my bookcase copy of S&W in 1959 -- is that so many of their rules (or whatever they are) are simply wrong. Yes, the word "linguistics" appears in the essay, I do realize that. And no, I don't think I […]

      All: My apologies, but I have to prep for tomorrow's lecture-cum-launch party, mentioned above. Come Thursday, I'm wheels-up for a mini-book tour of Southern California. If you're in the L.A. or San Diego area, please consider dropping by one of the following events. If you do, please come up and tug on my sleeve afterward. I'll try to sq […]

      The time is finally set. The day of the dead is coming, so make sure you have your Zombie Survival Plan ready. Many people are concerned about December 21, 2012, the alleged end of the world.

    • 2013
      The Mayans predicted that the world will end in 2012. The Mayans, being so good at seeing the ends of civilisations except their own, must of course be right. Floods will happen and the earth will shatter, causing the death of all humanity and mankind as we know it! Just in case that doesn't happen, let's plan a party in 2013. You know, just in cas […]

      In memory of Jarrod Newton... 3/14 of '87 to 08/26/2011, Yes, the time is upon us.

Starting at 9:26:53 (.589... sec) AM, the longest extended Pi Day of our lives will come into action. The dat […]
