>>Hi everybody,

A classic. I was a journalism major my first two years of college and it was assigned as required reading in the first class. I have certainly never regretted reading it (not that it was a time consuming task). The thing I like about it is that is consists of both rules, i.e. the things you must do, and guidance, i.e. how to use words best.
