Strunk & White is a nice little book, as I have said before, but it is
not what some people think it is.  It was written for Freshman college
students.  I was around when it came out in the first printing and
still have my copy.  For the serious pedantrist, I would point to
Fowler or Follet.  Now these are usage guides you can sink your teeth into.
(And, I can dangle things if I wish.)  S&W only scratch the surface.
