It wasn't the old ones with the problems
Gee, Merv, it seems like you're sort of ::StirTheP here. If you guys want to talk about literature, architecture, philosophy, politics, etc. I'd be happy to do so, but mostly I thought this was a place to talk cars, shoot the shit, and try to make each other laugh. :confused:Quote:

I still have my copy of Walsh's Plain English Handbook from my eighth grade English class. I don't think schools have used it in awhile.
Ahhhh. I feel so much better..........
I don't think schools even use Strunk & White anymore. :(Quote:
