No Child Left Behind
We finally purchased a Strunk & White last night. We're very proud to be fully vindicated in our intuitive uses of commas. Less heartening, however, is that we also learned that what we were told in the fourth grade was an appositive phrase is, in actual fact, a nonrestrictive clause. Now we're sort of questioning the whole foundation of our elementary education. Can someone tell us again why six was afraid of seven?
