Oh my, ita. Good luck making it through. Also, Garner's Modern American Usage?
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

ita,
so, what purpose do you need to use a book that is not Strunk & White?

Hey, Boston people -- will I need a winter jacket up there this weekend, or will I be OK with a lined corduroy one?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks Lee, Jesse.
LeN, I was looking for a more modern opinion on the same topic, or at least just a different take on grammar and usage of modern English.

I'm wearing my winter coat still, but didn't really need it this afternoon. It's 30s-50s, and will be. Depends how much time you'll be spending outside, I guess.

The status is NOT quo.
I'm personally a big fan of Grammar Snobs are Great Big Meanies. It cracks me up.

Because books.
I always just use The Chicago Manual of Style, ita, but that's not really what you're looking for.
I'm sorry the pain was so bad today. I wish you could get earlier appointments.
(My)Sara sat and watched a Big Bang Theory rerun with me earlier (she wanted to cuddle) and didn't ever ask what "coitus" meant. I'm not sure whether that's a good or bad thing.

Hmm. I think I'll just bring the corduroy one. I really don't feel like having to deal with a winter jacket on the plane unless I really need to.

Are you touristing or familying or conferencing? That would make a difference, I think. Maybe the corduroy and a warm scarf.

Family. Passover seder Friday night, then visiting some other relatives Saturday. Probably not much time outside.
