Review: The Elements of Style


The Elements of Style
The Elements of Style by William Strunk Jr.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

"pressed into service" as verbs ala "gifted").

I recently saw this work name-check in [b:The Software Project Manager's Handbook|4943549|The Software Project Manager's Handbook|Dwayne Phillips|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1267044498s/4943549.jpg|3186853], kudos for that [a:Dwayne Phillips|1270209|Dwayne Phillips|http://www.goodreads.com/assets/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66-251a730d696018971ef4a443cdeaae05.jpg]!
