"Neither The Elements of Style nor any other style book can be the definitive text on writing in every genre or media." —ENGL328 student, Fall 2009
"We concentrate on utility at the expense of joie
de vivre. And we then
wonder, as de Tocqueville prophesied we would, why life has lost its savor"
(19). —Richard Lanham, Style: An Anti-textbook
"Let us collectively raise the level of discourse online. What starts as a relentless tide of simple-minded chatter resembles the most perfect wave of literary turbulence under the right conditions" (89). —Dom Sagolla, 140 Characters: A Style Guide for the Short Form
