I seldom pop in with just a link for my "Frugal, Smart, and Tuned-In Editor" subscribers and visitors. I couldn't resist when I saw this from "The Subversive Copy Editor." It reflects the difficulty I see when my clients can't get past the idea of rules (on some issues) to the idea of a style choice. It also adds a few subtle arguments and observations, especially the one about English as a second language. I do hope you like it as much as I do.

I hope some of you will look up my new Great Little Last-Minute Editing Tips, too. I'm providing the widget for this easy-to-take mini brush-up course in a booklet.
