"The Tao of Grammar and Spelling" is a really cute title, Lather. But what about "The Tao of Grammar, Spelling, and Style"?

Or how about "The Tao of Grammar, Spelling, Syntax, and Style"?

As I posted once, my late husband, an English professor, used to love to shock his students by telling them that English has no grammar -- only syntax.

And I have discovered that there are folks out there who are far more interested in stylistic matters than in grammar as such.

Maybe we can devise a whole paragraph as a thread title. <g>

Edit: Or at least a very long single-sentence title, something like:

AX cOUSIN SHORTY,,,STOK Market GREW and famous AUTHOR!!!!

(That was a free plug for one of our occasional contributors.)
