Subject:What's this grammar-bashing? From:Mark Levinson <mark -at- SD -dot- CO -dot- IL> Date:Fri, 23 Dec 1994 10:24:02 IST
7. Make it grammatically correct, unless that interferes with 4, 5, or 6.
** I could understand making grammar #2 if political correctness were
#1, but how did grammar get down to #7? Can anyone cite an instance
where grammar needs to yield to understandability, consistency, or
technical accuracy?
