[various] >>Does anyone have any rules of thumb to share? 1. Never let a non-writer engage you in a grammar argument. If you can't smile and walk away, then say "Because *I'm* the writer, that's why." 2. End on prepositions if that's what you want to end on. 3. Stop typing now and then, or you will get a RSI, and then you won't be able to write, and then you won't be able to work, and then you'll starve and die. --philip. philip@world.std.com
