Re: Grammar/Vocabulary ???


Here, from Strunk's original work, is another example of a convention no more:

Quote:
Write any one, every one, some one, some time (except the sense of formerly) as two words.

Again, this is one of those rules which just gave way over the last hundred years or so--even with the strictest of all grammarians, William Strunk, Jr. advising his Ivy League students against the dangers.




There's Jessie the yodeling cowgirl. Bullseye, he's Woody's horse. Pete the old prospector. And, Woody, the man himself. Of course, it's time for Woody's RoundUp. He's the very best! He's the rootinest, tootinest cowboy in the wild, wild west!
