- Hi,
-
- I have questions regarding Strunk and White's book on prose style.
-
- For a long time I thought this book was the last word on English
- style. But now I wonder, is this book considered _that_ good
- by modern writers? Or, are Strunk and White considered proponents of
- a particular style, or "_ism" (with others "_isms," just as good,
- that I am unaware of?)
-
- Just trying to broaden my horizons. Thanks for any input,
-
