Tom C: Re: Grammar ...

Nice piece. He left out a few of my favorites.

"Never use a preposition to end a sentence with."

"Avoid TLA's (Three Letter Acronyms)."

"The most unique grammar mistake is a 'modified absolute'."

Please be sure the Svejk gets a copy of this for the mail room. Perhaps we can have the R&D lab produce a 'fully automated' grammar checker that can be automatically initiated upon retrieval of incoming mail.
