ita,
so, what purpose do you need to use a book that is not Strunk & White?

Hey, Boston people -- will I need a winter jacket up there this weekend, or will I be OK with a lined corduroy one?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks Lee, Jesse.
LeN, I was looking for a more modern opinion on the same topic, or at least just a different take on grammar and usage of modern English.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm wearing my winter coat still, but didn't really need it this afternoon. It's 30s-50s, and will be. Depends how much time you'll be spending outside, I guess.

I'm personally a big fan of Grammar Snobs are Great Big Meanies. It cracks me up.

Because books.
I always just use The Chicago Manual of Style, ita, but that's not really what you're looking for.
I'm sorry the pain was so bad today. I wish you could get earlier appointments.
(My)Sara sat and watched a Big Bang Theory rerun with me earlier (she wanted to cuddle) and didn't ever ask what "coitus" meant. I'm not sure whether that's a good or bad thing.

Hmm. I think I'll just bring the corduroy one. I really don't feel like having to deal with a winter jacket on the plane unless I really need to.

Are you touristing or familying or conferencing? That would make a difference, I think. Maybe the corduroy and a warm scarf.

Family. Passover seder Friday night, then visiting some other relatives Saturday. Probably not much time outside.

Yeah, then I wouldn't worry about it.
