50 years ago, William Strunk, Jr. writ and self-published dis book - The Elements of Style - containin' da rules of usage and principles of composition, along wit his student, E.B. White., while he was professoring at Cornell. In 1959, a New York Times reviewer says it "a splendid trophy for all who are interested in reading and writing."I'm referred to dis handy buk multiples of times - in high school when I writen for and editin' the school newspaper, as a journalism major at da University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, while bloggin' an writin' my plays...Don't aks me how I gets along witout it. I learned a lot from it. They're ain't nothin' like it.
