I Don’t Like Rules

Picture of the book, “The Elements of Style.”

“I” before “e” except after “c.” Except in “Keith,” “weird,” “forfeit,” “albeit,” “glacier,” and “seize.” Never end a sentence with a preposition, a rule which so great a writer as Winston Churchill considered “arrant nonsense, up with which I will not put.”

I don’t take issue with most peoples’ writing mistakes; God knows I’m just as guilty as the next…
