“The approach to style is by way of plainness, simplicity, orderliness, sincerity.”

May 16, 2026

Over the past 40 years I have had vague notions of seeing the “Strunk & White”.  Perhaps my highschool English teacher had it on her shelf. Or maybe an account executive at The Gallagher Widmyer Group had it in their office when I was an intern there in 1990. 

But I have no recollection of ever actually reading it.  And I had no knowledge of this illustrated version published 21 years ago. 

Fast forward or rewind to 4/26/26 when 22 Heather showed me her current collection of library books. This book got my attention. I almost got it at the library too. But when I learned more about it, I wanted one of my very own. To have and to hold. To refer to. To chuck in my backpack. To look back on. To check in with.  To Notarize. 

Yesterday I got it. I’ll be looking at it a lot. Here and there. Now and then. On and off. Over and out. 

Thanks to Two-Two too.

In my free floating capacity I sometimes offend without intending too. Prepositional endings are acceptable in English grammar but not in latin languages. Which English is not.
