awwww the S&W kind of makes me sad. Yes, we* all know enough to know when to uphold and when to suspend grammar rules, but MOST people don't. I still find S&W valuable in the sense that one must first know all the rules in order to understand when to bend or break them. Poor unloved grammarians.
*defining "we" as the kind of academic and/or intellectual who gets asked to write a blurb for the 50th bday of S&W. Or the canaries in the coal mine of American education
