Strunk & White are exacting their revenge today

Not once, but twice I have been screwed over by punctuation today.  Once because of non-supported apostrophe, and the other time because of an errant space.  Neither my fault BUT I HAD TO FIX THEM.

Do you have the illustrated version, Cohen?  Maira Kalman had some great illustrations in that edition.

It's not just about grammar, though.

The following book is written in the template of the original Elements of Style, but instead of tackling writing, it focuses on cooking.  It was a pretty good read.  You should pick it up, fellow cook.
