Hey, get with the program:

The Chicago Manual of Style: The Essential Guide for Writers, Editors, and Publishers (14th Edition)
by John Grossman

I think this indispensable tome will go a long way toward ensuring we are all articulate enough to post at RC.

Good luck.

An alternate is "Elements of Style" by Strunk & White. Back when I was literate, I found this book both useful and funny.

One of my favorite sentences is: "Being full of curves, she had trouble keeping the car on the road." :D

Gawd, we are such nerds. ;)

My favorite is "The Little English Handbook" by Corbett, although admittedly I could reference it more often.

Small, easy to read, and cheap. Hey, if a redneck farm kid from Minnesota can figure it out anyone can. :D

Northern Reef,
Isn't it difficult to keep your neck red at this time of year all the way up there in Minnesota??:D
