Epigraph
"People think I can teach them style.  What stuff is.  Have something to say and say it as clearly as you can.  That is the only secret of Style."
--MATTHEW ARNOLD (1822-1888)
Dedication
To the memory of my mother and father.
First words
You may have surprised yourself by buying (or are you just "borrowing" and thinking of buying?) a grammar book.
Quotations
Writers used to get around [gender-neutral third-person pronouns] by using he, him, or his to refer to both men and women.  But you don't have to be at the cutting edge of modern feminism to see that this is not generally acceptable to most women these days. (109)
